Abstract
The rabbit's oropharyngeal anatomy complicates the use of endotracheal intubation for airway management during surgical procedures. To determine if the laryngeal tube is useful for airway management in rabbits, the authors applied the device and evaluated its efficacy to ventilate the lungs. The laryngeal tube was inserted blindly and without difficulty in six healthy male New Zealand White rabbits; all of the rabbits were ventilated adequately with and without neuromuscular blockade. The authors conclude that the laryngeal tube can be used as an alternative means of airway management in rabbits.
