Mrs.FullerRN 189 Posted July 10, 2013 As a nurse I know different types of anesthesia require intubation and some don't. I'm not an OR nurse though so I'm not sure if the sleeve will require me to be intubated. That part freaks me out the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HappyCat 70 Posted July 10, 2013 Yep. I was intubated but don't worry, they put you to sleep first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macy6 356 Posted July 10, 2013 Yes intubated but you won't remember. Possibly a sore throat after, I didn't have one after my gall bladder though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thetattooedlady 114 Posted July 10, 2013 Typically they will secure an airway for any type of procedure where you are put under general anesthesia so yes you will be intubated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auntmissa1 39 Posted July 10, 2013 I was also intubated, but it was in and out when I was unconscious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassygirl06 962 Posted July 10, 2013 I was...but they put it in after I was out and pulled it out before I woke up so I don't remember a thing. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fixerupper 335 Posted July 10, 2013 I was but don't remember it. It did make me feel like I have a sinus infection and a very sore throat several days though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
