Chicken strip is such a cute name! Thank you for showing the reality of intubating cats. Cats and small dogs are more tricky.

[@chextabexta4425]

Omg awesome explanation, I loved that. Not just of how to, but on what to look out for, caveats, and how to correct. Gud pace. 🙌

Chicken Strip 😭💜 Thanks for the refresher! I don't deal with cats very much anymore, but still need to know how to intubate similarly sized wild mammals.

Awwww Poor Sweet Kitty ♥♥♥

I think the video ended too soon. I think it is very important to mention that you do want a small leak when you give a breath to avoid tracheal tears. Many cats will get tracheal tears from over inflation of the cuff. The Oregon Vet Conference 2023 had a feline anesthesia lecture that was great and there was a slide that said “You do want a leak!”

Oh gud to know! Love the input from comments. I guess it wud make the monitor a little less reliable if u intentionally leave an airway gap

Poor lad. Why did this cute patient need surgery?

[@SimplySatisfiedSarah]

I’m a people nurse. First of all it’s crazy that you do all of this without all of the fancy equipment that we use. I can’t imagine working with animals. I’ve seen way too many humans die and that is traumatic enough but there’s just something about animals, I could never watch animals die. It just doesn’t seem like a natural way of life in the same way that it is for humans. I guess humans can understand what’s happening and speak for themselves where is animals can’t. I do have a question though. Your ET placement was not a sterile procedure like it would be in a hospital. Why is that? Our animals not as susceptible to bacterial pneumonia?

[@lesleycash7655]

How do you do it in the human field. All clinics I’ve worked at, just a rinse with normal water is enough

[@sarahm498]

This is pretty hospital dependent. Specialty practices will tend to have more protocols that are closely related to human hospitals. Fortunately vet med as a whole is starting to get more on board with sterility protocols. There are still places that have surgeons doing orthopedic surgeries with ungowned and barely gloves surgeons. This is also very dependent on location/country. In some situations sterility costs money and people hate paying vets lol. Surprisingly pneumonia is pretty rare considering how nonchalant sterility can be!
