Intubation Checklist

An intubation checklist is a step-by-step guide used by medical professionals to ensure safe and effective placement of a breathing tube into a patient's airway. It helps confirm that all necessary equipment is prepared, the patient’s condition is suitable, and the procedure is performed correctly. The checklist minimizes errors, improves efficiency, and enhances patient safety during critical situations where maintaining an open airway is essential, such as in emergencies, surgeries, or respiratory failure. It serves as a reminder for clinicians to systematically verify each step before and during intubation.
