Abstract: Technique of blind tracheal intubation in rabbits (ABsTRACT PuRPOsE: To describe and evaluate a modified technique of blind orotraqueal intubation in rabbits, by supporting of previous cannulization of the esophagus. METHOds: Twelve New Zealand rabbits, weighing between 2,780 a 4,140 kg were anesthetized with xilazine (3mg/Kg) and ketamine (20mg/Kg). The animals were positioned in ventral decubitus with the head hyperextend. With one of the hands the anesthetist with the index and thumb fingers positioned in t… Show more

“…Because direct visualization of the larynx can be tricky if the precise techniques we outline above are not followed, the use of alternative intubation strategies that do not require visualization of the larynx can be appealing. For example, the blind technique is one possible option that does not require use of a laryngoscope 16 17 18 19 20 . However, use of this technique relies on the ability to detect airflow through the endotracheal tube in order to direct the placement of the tube, and if the animal's breaths are very shallow or arrested, use of this method is not reliable.…”

“…Many methods for direct endotracheal intubation have been described 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 . One popular method is the blind technique, which may decrease the chance of injury to the oropharyngeal cavity since insertion of a laryngoscope isn't necessary 16 17 18 19 20 . As a visually blind technique, this method requires monitoring for air flow through the endotracheal tube and careful manipulation to guide placement.…”

“…However is described by the author in a study of an experimental model for tracheal cannulation, 33 rabbits aged between five and seven months, which was carried out without the technical view of the glottis successfully 3 . Another study also presented a rate of 100% success and there were no complications such as trauma, laryngeal spasm, postoperative hemorrhages or breathing faliure 11 .…”

“…In addition, multiple attempts may be required to successfully intubate the animal, and thus the intubation process can be prolonged (7,8). Alternatives to the traditional blind approach have been described, including endoscopic-guided intubation (9)(10)(11), direct visualization through laryngoscopy (12), nasotracheal intubation (13), retrograde orotracheal intubation (14), tracheostomy (15), capnography guided intubation (16), and intubation supported by esophageal cannulization (17). Another alternative method that has been proposed is intubation using a polypropylene catheter as a guide for insertion of the ETT (5).…”
