About

This video explains how to intubate a nine-month-old with RSV bronchiolitis in the ICU. It covers patient symptoms like hypoxemia and respiratory acidosis, equipment needed for intubation, and medication choices such as propofol and succinylcholine. The doctors emphasize careful preparation to avoid complications like aspiration due to a full stomach or bronchospasm from secretions. They also discuss monitoring vital signs during the procedure to ensure successful intubation while minimizing risks for the child.
