T9-2A OPERATIVE REPORT, INTUBATION
The first attempt was with an 8.5 endotracheal tube, which just did not fit in the vocal cords. I was afraid of causing trauma, so we switched to a #8 endotracheal tube, which went in nicely. He had good return on the capnograph, and we eventually got O₂ (oxygen) saturations up to 90%. It took 35 minutes to do that, to get his O₂ stats back up from about 60% to over 90% once he was intubated.
I got here toward the middle of the respiratory arrest, so I do not think any sedation was given. A chest x-ray will be taken postprocedure to assure ourselves of a good placement.
