Is the intubation different for a dental than for any other procedure? Is there something that makes it riskier during a dental? |
That's a good question, I have no idea of the answer. When I watched the video, I noticed they "blew up" the tube once it was in the throat. This created a bulb on the tube that prevented water getting into the lungs. During the cleaning they are using water in the mouth, and since this wouldn't be the case in most surgeries, I'm wondering if they always have that bulb. It seems like that bulb could do some damage. I'm just guessing on all this though.
