Intratracheal intubation, also called endotracheal intubation, involves the insertion of a tube into the trachea to maintain an airway and to prevent obstruction.[1]

Videolaryngoscopy does not help inexperienced intubators.[2]

The role of using cricoid pressure (Sellick maneuver) is not clear although it may help close the esophagus during intubation.[3]

Intubation is a difficult skill to learn about at least 20 supervised intubations are needed before skill is acquired.[4]
