The endotrachealtube (ETT) is in fact an artificial airway that is used when a patient does not have a patent airway. Most of the time a mechanical ventilator is connected to the ETT to provide oxygenation/ventilation. But i am confused about what your question actually is.

they need it to breathe, if thats your question, I was unsure. But there are a couple different types of breathing machines and techniques to help people who cant breath on their own.
