An intubation injury may occur for a variety of reasons, but many times, it is due to a medical mistake made by a negligent medical professional. Physicans, paramedics, and other health care providers who may perform intubation procedures are required to undergo extensive training before ever intubating a patient. Inexperience, improper training, reckless insertion of the tube, and failure to monitor and/or address potential complications are all factors that may lead to intubated patients receiving serious or even fatal injuries.
