For endotracheal intubation, a topical anesthetic can be used to numb the throat and reduce discomfort. Magill forceps may be needed to help guide the tube into the trachea, especially in difficult intubations. Water-soluble lubricant is used to ease the insertion of the endotracheal tube. Cuffless ET tubes are generally not preferred for adults due to the risk of aspiration and inability to provide positive pressure ventilation effectively. Oxygen cannula is not directly used for the intubation process itself, but rather for oxygenation before or after the procedure.
