title: Oral endotracheal intubation of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniiculus).
abstract: Endotracheal intubation of rabbits is reported, both personally and in the literature, to be so difficult that special equipment has been constructed by other workers to facilitate the procedure. We report that the positioning of the operator, behind the animal, viewing from the dorsal surface of the head, facilitates this procedure enormously.
