Abstract
Oral endotracheal intubation of guineapigs as reported in the literatu re, is considered to be extremely difficult. Because of this, we const ructed special equipment and developed a technique to facilitate the p rocedure. A special restraint device was designed to position the guin eapig. Utilizing a laryngoscope and an operating microscope for visual ization then makes intubation easy to perform.
