Abstract
Endrotracheal intubation is critical for some experimental studies in mice, but the animals' small size makes the procedure difficult. The authors describe a new, easily learned retrograde intubation method using angioplasty guide wire. They twice intubated anesthetized mice successfully with no airway complications caused by puncture of the trachea.
