A novel rat model for assessment of laryngotracheal injury following transoral intubation

Laryngotracheal damage is a well-described complication of endotracheal intubation and animal models are essential for studying the underlying cellular injury cascade. This novel rat model is based on transoral intubation and aims to simulate the common clinical scenario of tube-related airway damage.
