Answer 2

Tube Down Throat

Answer 3

I assume you mean for breathing?

This is called intubation. An endotracheal tube is inserted into your trachea. A cuff is inflated to hold it in place. Either a BVM (bag-valve-mask) or a ventilator will be attached to the end of the tube so your breathing can be maintained.

Your throat will be very sore when the tube comes out.

There are other reasons why a tube can be put down your throat. Endoscopy...bronchoscopy...certain cardiac tests...the list goes on.

There is a tube that can be used when a person cannot be intubated in the normal way. It's called a combitube or dual lumen airway. These are used more commonly in emergency situations. It doesn't matter which way it goes...esophagus or trachea. A person can still be ventilated effectively.

Answer 4

That would be your trachea, or "windpipe". The process is called endotracheal intubation: the tube they place down your "throat" is called an endotrachael tube..it has a small inflatable "balloon" at the end which when inflated after placement seals off your trachea so that "air or oxygen can go in through the center of the tube but other fluids {like vomit} cant get past the "balloon" into your lungs. When one is intubated for surgery, you are "asleep"...made unconscious first by the MD's. In the field when a patient is intubated, they are either in "Full Arrest"..{ a CPR case}, or so critical that the procedure is done even if the patient isn't "fully unconscious". Intubating in those cases {if not contraindicated} is sometimes done via a nasally placed tube, which acts the same as a tube placed endotracheally. Lastly, there are also somes tubes designed to be placed in the esophagus {where food goes down }, the theory being to seal off the esophagus and divert ventilated air to the open trachea. In all cases, a skilled medic or Doc can usually place and secure such a tube in 30-45 seconds, then proceed to ventilate {breathe} for the patient.

Answer 5

The tube that goes 'down your throat' is an endotracheal tube,the process of passing the tube & keeping it there is 'intubation' & the largyscope is the instrument used to see or visualise that the tube has been correctly placed.The aim of the tube is to keep the wind pipe or trachea patent &conduct oxygen from either a cylinder attached to a Boyles apparatus or a piped supply of oxygen.This procedure is followed when the patients respiration is insufficient to mantain adesiable level of oxygen in the body During surgery muscles relaxants are given so that thepatient's muscles are totally relaxed,this involves respiratory muscles as well,so oxygem has to be supplied to the body until the effect of relaxants wear off.

Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery (MIS), bandaid surgery, keyhole surgery, or pinhole surgery is a modern surgical technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5cm) as compared to larger incisions needed in traditional surgical procedures. .Laparoscopic surgery also referred to as minimally invasive surgery describes the performance of surgical procedures with the assistance of a video camera and several thin instruments. During the surgical procedure, small incisions of up to half an inch are made and plastic tubes called ports are placed through these incisions. The camera and the instruments are then introduced through the ports which allow access to the inside of the patient. The camera transmits an image of the organs inside the abdomen onto a television monitor. The surgeon is not able to see directly into the patient without the traditional large incision. The video camera becomes a surgeon’s eyes in laparoscopy surgery, since the surgeon uses the image from the video camera positioned inside the patient’s body to perform the procedure Benefits of minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures are less post operative discomfort since the incisions are much smaller quicker recovery times shorter hospital stays earlier return to full activities much smaller scars there may be less internal scarring when the procedures are performed in a minimally invasive fashion compared to standard open surgery. The ET (endotracheal tube) is usually inserted thru your throat into the trachea.which can be hooked up to a ventilator for respirations during surgery.
