As a respiratory therapist, I hope that someone, a nurse, respiratory therapist or doctor was there to explain what was going on. When I see patients wake up in the hospital for the first time with an endotracheal tube in and on a ventilator my heart truly sinks... I couldn't imagine the fear, even if you knew what was going on and that you were going to be intubated- that feeling of not being able to do anything for yourself and completely and totally relying on your healthcare providers for even the breaths that you receive... man..
