Animal placement for tracheal intubation. Panel a, the mouse was placed in the dorsal recumbent position on a specially-designed platform (30 × 20 cm) with the upper incisors hooked and fixed by a silk band on the proximal end of the platform. Panel b, the platform angle was adjusted to an angle of 45-60° to help straighten the curvature between the trachea and the larynx to enable clear visualization of the oropharyngeal cavity and facilitate tracheal intubation
