How to use intubate in a sentence?

1. Chief Nursing Officer Tammy Daniel:

   We're getting ready to intubate the patient, which means putting them on a ventilator, and they said,' If I get the vaccine now, could I not go on the ventilator ?' So, they're begging for it, they're desperate because they are gasping for air, they can't breathe, they are scared, they feel like they're going to pass away.

2. Leah Blomberg:

   It wasn't until the 24th when I didn't have the energy to make it to the bathroom in time -- when I finally said to my husband,' Take me to the ER,' they immediately called an ambulance to take me to a hospital that was accepting Covid patients. And when I got there, they said,' You're not getting enough oxygen. We're going to have to intubate you.' So I was put in a medically induced coma and put on a ventilator.

3. Lisa Moreno-Walton:

   Those of us who have worked in global health are familiar with the decisions that had to be made in Africa during the Ebola epidemic, if I have one ventilator and two people who need it, and one is a 13-year-old-boy who is likely to recover, and the other is an 80-year-old woman who is demented and has sacral decubiti, who do I intubate and put on the ventilator ? In that case, the decision is made on the likelihood of recovery and quality of life.
