👉 "Intertracheal" is a medical term that refers to the process of inserting an artificial tube through the trachea (windpipe) into a patient's chest. This can be done for various reasons, such as treating a chronic condition or relieving symptoms caused by other conditions like pneumonia. The insertion of this tube typically involves a surgical incision in the chest and may involve the use of sedation to ensure that the patient is comfortable during the procedure.
