Intubate

/ɪnˈtjuːbeɪt/ verb

Definition

To insert a tube into the windpipe to help someone breathe, especially during medical emergencies or surgery.

Etymology

From Latin 'in-' (into) + 'tubus' (tube), combined with the medical suffix '-ate.' The procedure became standardized in modern medicine during the late 1800s as anesthesia and surgery advanced.

Kelly Says

During the COVID-19 pandemic, 'intubation' became a household word—it's one of the most critical interventions doctors have, and images of intubated patients became symbolic of how serious the virus was!
