Objectives: (1) To develop a practical animal model of endolaryngeal damage secondary to prolonged endotracheal intubation. (2) To demonstrate the contribution of chronic hypoxia to laryngeal injury in the context of this model. Methods: Four Sus scrofa piglets were anaesthetized and intubated for 24 h. Two animals were maintained in a state of constant hypoxia (pO(2) < 60 mmHg) white two others were ventilated with 100% oxygen. Prior to sacrifice, fluorescein dye was infused intravenously to highlight areas of hypoperfusion. The larynx and trachea were then harvested for gross and histological examination. Results: All four specimens demonstrated areas of edema, erythema, and ulceration on gross examination. Areas of significant histological inflammation, ulceration, and necrosis involved tube-mucosa contact, in particular, the arytenoids, the interarytenoid area, and the subglottis. Conclusions: This animal model represents a practical and novel means for the investigation and treatment of laryngeal injury secondary to prolonged endotracheal. intubation. Significant injury to the endolarynx was evident after only 24 h of intubation and the injury involved similar areas within the larynx as described in human studies. Although clinical, experience suggests that chronic hypoxia is a risk factor for endolaryngeal injury, this model did not provide experimental evidence to support this observation, most likely due to the small study size.
