			*A Form of Intubation used for medical ventihilation
	~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation~~		*Usually done through the mouth, but can be done via more invasive methods if required (Due to medical reasons (swelling etc) or due to emergency needs
			*A Highly Skilled Technique
			*OSE may be able to develop some of the devices used see [[

			=Invasive Methods=
			*Is done THROUGH the throat
			*Is often reffered to as a Tracheotomy
	*Intensive Care Unit, extreme risk cases, invasive intubation		*Intensive Care Unit, extreme risk cases, invasive intubation
	*Typically done with anaesthesia, but can be done without in extremes
	*'''Associated devices''' - Intubation is normally facilitated by using a conventional laryngoscope, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope, or video laryngoscope to identify the vocal cords and pass the tube between them into the trachea instead of into the esophagus.

	=~~Not Intubation~~ - ~~non-invasive mechanical ventilation~~=		=Non-Invasive Methods=
			*Tube is inserted via the mouth using varying forms of guidance for the Surgeon or other qualified person(s) such as a conventional laryngoscope, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope, or video laryngoscope to identify the vocal cords and pass the tube between them into the trachea instead of into the esophagus.

All medical personel functioning while sick. PPE's will no longer be relevant, etc, but number of beds will. and ventilators will then become an issue?
