Intubation

Intubation (sometimes entubation) is a medical procedure involving the insertion of a tube into the body. Patients are generally anesthetized beforehand. Examples include tracheal intubation, and the balloon tamponade with a Sengstaken–Blakemore tube (a tube into the gastrointestinal tract).[1]

This term often refers specifically to Tracheal intubation.
