Invasive

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_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

See reference for critical care procedures - in this interview - [1]

Worst Case Scenario

From [5] - a peak of patients rushing to hospitals (beyond improvised # of IC beds). 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?
