Our new oropharyngeal intubation wedge made from a plastic 3-ml syringe has been used successfully for the expansion of the oropharyngeal cavity and visualization of vocal cords for endotracheal intubation in the rat. All the animals we used tolerated the intubation and ventilation procedures in a series of experiments. After the proper setting of the respirator, vital signs were maintained within normal range. The postmortem examination and measurements in the upper airway confirmed that the endotracheal tube was properly sited and also demonstrated the precise size of the device that should be used. The main advantages of this method include low cost, simplicity, and reliability. Furthermore, because no expensive, elaborate, difficult-to-operate, or hard-to-get special equipment is needed, this technique can be used in every laboratory.
我们用3毫升塑料注射器制作的新型口咽插管楔已成功用于大鼠口咽腔扩张及气管插管时声带的可视化。在一系列实验中，我们使用的所有动物都耐受插管和通气操作。在正确设置呼吸机后，生命体征维持在正常范围内。对上呼吸道进行的尸检和测量证实气管导管位置正确，还展示了应使用的装置的确切尺寸。该方法的主要优点包括成本低、操作简单且可靠。此外，由于不需要昂贵、复杂、难以操作或难以获得的特殊设备，这种技术可在每个实验室使用。
