Background: General anesthesia in rabbits is associated with higher morbidity and mortality relative to other mammalian species commonly anesthetized. Unique challenges related to endotracheal intubation (ETI) in rabbits contribute to this risk. Objective: To improve the safety of ETI in rabbits,...

The intubation of rabbits of small or dwarf breeds is often described as being technically challenging and such rabbits are predisposed to developing intubation-associated complications. Until now, the selection of endotracheal tubes has been based on clinical experience and studies demonstrating...

V-gels® (Docsinnovent Ltd, UK) are the first veterinary supraglottic airway devices (SADs) that have been developed. They can be used as an alternative to endotracheal intubation. Species that would benefit from the use of v-gels include cats and rabbits. In both species orotracheal intubation may...
