Purpose of Endotracheal Tube in Pets

Endotracheal intubation is a critical veterinary procedure that involves placing a flexible tube into a pet's trachea to maintain an open airway during anesthesia or emergency care. Its primary functions include:

Airway Protection - Prevents aspiration of saliva/vomit into lungs

Oxygen Delivery - Ensures reliable oxygen supply during surgery

Anesthetic Administration - Allows controlled delivery of gas anesthetics

Ventilation Support - Enables manual or mechanical breathing assistance

Emergency Access - Provides immediate airway access in respiratory crises

Commonly used in surgical procedures, CPR, and critical care, proper intubation requires veterinary expertise to avoid complications like tracheal injury. The tube is typically removed once the pet regains sufficient respiratory function.
