Intubation

Anyone got the Intubation awake before the ops?

The anesthetist told me they have to do it when I'm awake...

I'm been thru the endoscope awake and it was hell...

      Awake intubations aren't that uncommon. It's usually due to the person's size and body type. For people with short necks, and lots of adipose tissue around their face and chest, it's the only safe way

      I think I would use a different Dr and anesthesiologist. That's just scary -__-

      Ditto. That just sounds ridiculous. I have had serval surgeries- NEVER have I been awake for that! Thank god! I've had an endo as well and remember just a second of it. I agree with lessofmeismore.

    I have had intubation while awake, it is insane but over quickly. If they consider it medically necessary, then just focus on the end goal. You are doing this to improve your life and a little pain and discomfort are a part of the journey.
