2020
In pandemic times, medical staff is becoming a key resource in fighting the infection. To achieve the best medical care, relevant techniques and procedures have to be taught to medical staff to reduce the risk of infection. COVID patients often need mechanical ventilation due to progredient respiratory insufficiency, so an endotracheal intubation becomes a critical procedure in managing these patients. This procedure has an increased risk of infection due to aerosol formation and working with...

Endotracheal Intubation in Mice via Direct Laryngoscopy Using an Otoscope

We have developed a simple, reliable, and relatively inexpensive method for endotracheal intubation in mice via direct laryngoscopy using an otoscope with a 2.0 mm speculum. This technique is atraumatic and can be used for repeated measurements in chronic experiments. We find it superior to tracheostomy or previously reported nonsurgical techniques.
FAQs
Its main functional advantage is controlled access to breathing during conditions in which spontaneous respiration may be unreliable, such as anesthesia or assisted ventilation. Once positioned in the trachea and linked to the appropriate breathing system, clinicians or researchers can regulate airflow and anesthetic gas delivery. This supports consistent respiratory management while maintaining airway patency.
Proper placement establishes a dependable passage between the airway and the breathing system, while ongoing management helps preserve that access throughout a procedure. These factors are important because disrupted respiratory access can compromise ventilation or oxygenation. In neurological work, maintaining stable respiratory conditions also supports safer anesthesia, surgery, and neurophysiological procedures.
Stable ventilation helps keep oxygenation and breathing under controlled conditions while researchers perform brain surgery, neurological monitoring, or other neurophysiological procedures. This consistency is relevant because respiratory instability could complicate the procedure and reduce confidence in its observations. The cannula therefore supports the reliable respiratory environment required for neuroscience research involving anesthesia or assisted breathing.
The general workflow is to place the cannula into the trachea, establish respiratory access, and connect it to a ventilator or another system for controlled breathing or anesthetic gas delivery. Clinicians or researchers then manage the airway and regulate ventilation during the procedure. The exact use depends on whether the setting involves anesthesia, surgery, or assisted ventilation.
Researchers may use an intubation cannula in animal or human studies that require anesthesia, brain surgery, neurological monitoring, or other procedures needing stable oxygenation and ventilation. It is particularly relevant when respiratory support must continue while neural activity, neurological function, or surgical conditions are being assessed. The technique helps maintain airway access throughout these experimental settings.
Effective placement and management can help maintain airway patency, stable oxygenation, and regulated ventilation during a neurophysiological procedure. These conditions improve the safety and reliability of work involving anesthesia, brain surgery, or neurological monitoring. They also provide a more controlled respiratory environment, allowing the procedure to proceed without avoidable disruption to breathing support.
