The easiest intubation of all mammals.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/07/hippie-dolphin-natural-air-birth/ Hippie Dolphin Has Natural Air-Birth]</ref> You don't need any tools, only an [[Endotracheal Tube|endotracheal tube (ETT)]]. The ease even beats out all whale intubations, due to the large [[Endotracheal Tube|ETT]]. The weight of the whale's ETT can be so heavy that it can take up to 40 men to lift! Then you have the problem of ventilating this colossal beast. These logistics place whales at the other end of the intubation spectrum. Dolphins are easy, be glad you were called to a dolphin's STAT intubation.  ''Additional Reading'''----- [[Charting]] - [[FISH]] - [[Mallampati Score]] - [[Rectal Intubation]]  '''References'''----<references />
