Washington University Stops Using Cats

Another success story: http://www.care2.com/causes/success-washington-university-stops-using-cats-for-all-intubation-training.html

Finally, for the first time, we can say this — no medical school in the United States uses cats to train students to intubate infants. Care2 readers, this victory belongs to you and to many others who have long opposed this antiquated teaching technique.

Washington University in St. Louis announced in mid-October 2016 that, effective immediately, they will stop sedating cats and using them to instruct medical students how to insert breathing tubes down infants’ throats. From now on, neonatal intubation training will be done only using mannequins and simulators.
