It is used to secure the airways of unconscious, anaesthetized or sedated patients by inserting an endotracheal tube through which artificial respiration can be administered. There are different methods of intubation depending on the patient&#8217;s condition, anatomical circumstances and availability of aids. While classic direct laryngoscopy is still widely used, modern procedures such as video laryngoscopy or fiberoptic intubation are becoming increasingly important. There are also alternative access routes such as nasal intubation or coniotomy, which are particularly relevant in emergency situations.   <\/p>\n<p>In this article, we would like to give you an overview of the various techniques and how they are carried out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1277584 e-flex e-con-boxed elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1277584\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70c4fed e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"70c4fed\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41ee5d1 elementor-headline--style-highlight elementor-widget elementor-widget-animated-headline\" data-id=\"41ee5d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;marker&quot;:&quot;underline_zigzag&quot;,&quot;highlighted_text&quot;:&quot;Laryngoscopy&quot;,&quot;headline_style&quot;:&quot;highlight&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;highlight_animation_duration&quot;:1200,&quot;highlight_iteration_delay&quot;:8000}\" data-widget_type=\"animated-headline.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-headline-plain-text elementor-headline-text-wrapper\">Direct<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-headline-dynamic-wrapper elementor-headline-text-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-headline-dynamic-text elementor-headline-text-active\">Laryngoscopy<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0e4747 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e0e4747\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Direct laryngoscopy is the classic method of intubation using a laryngoscope with a direct view of the vocal cords.
