abstract
  • Rarely, intubation will result in paralysis to the larynx (and House treated a patient with this condition in the episode Control) The physician must also be careful not to place the tube into the esophagus rather than the trachea. In emergency situations, intubation is useful for patients who only have a swollen or damaged throat preventing adequate airflow into the lungs. If the airways are constricted by anaphylactic shock, asthma, or any other condition which causes swelling in the lungs, intubation will allow a higher pressure and concentration of oxygen to be delivered more effectively. An endotracheal tube can also be used to deliver medicine directly to the lungs.
