Zusammenfassung:A teaching model for pediatric intubation, utilizing ketamine-sedated kittens, has been provided for physicians and ancillary medical personnel at Madigan Army Medical Center. A dosage of 22 mg/kg of ketamine, administered intramuscularly to weaned kittens, produces some sedation but maintains laryngeal reflexes comparable to the awake human neonate. Practice with this living model has fulfilled a needed requirement for medical personnel who may be called upon in pediatric emergencies.
