title: Oral endotrachael intubation of guineapigs.
abstract: Oral endotracheal intubation of guineapigs as reported in the literature, is considered to be extremely difficult. Because of this, we constructed special equipment and developed a technique to facilitate the procedure. A special restraint device was designed to position the guineapig. Utilizing a laryngoscope and an operating microscope for visualization then makes intubation easy to perform.
