Orotracheal intubation. Illustration of a sagittal section through a patient's head and neck, showing a tube that has been inserted in orotracheal intubation. This form of intubation involves inserting a tube through the mouth (oral) into the trachea (windpipe). This is done to supply air to a patient where the patient is unable to breathe unaided. A balloon catheter on the tip of the tube is used to keep the airway open. | |
