Intubating a dog is similar to intubating a human. The tongue has to be gently pulled forward to allow visualization of the airway structures. A laryngoscope is often used to pull the epiglottis down out of the way of the tracheal opening and provide light to visualize the structures. In large dogs the airway structures can often be seen with a bright external light. The tube is then passed into the mouth, over the epiglottis, and through the laryngeal folds during expiration.
