Intubation is the process of inserting a tube called an endotracheal tube (ET) into the mouth or nose and then into the airway (trachea) to hold it open.

 

Once in place, the tube is connected to a ventilator, a machine that pushes air in and out of the lungs. When that's not accessible, healthcare providers will connect the tube to a bag that they squeeze to have the same effect.

Mechanical ventilators are machines that act as bellows to move air in and out of your lungs. Your respiratory therapist and doctor set the ventilator to control how often it pushes air into your lungs and how much air you get.
