(No real advice, having not done it, but....)
.... I wonder about the ET tube size. I imagine intubation itself would be similar to humans (best done dorsal - 'upside down' for most veterinarians - with blade up and fiberoptic if possible), but somewhere along the way I seem to recall the great apes have a much larger lung volume than we do. That would imply a bigger ET tube, which might make it even more difficult than a person given the propensity for laryngospasm, etc.
Anyway. No real knowledge - I work with cats 'n dogs, where intubation is super easy - but I'm curious for details of how you do it and how it goes. Trickiest things I've ever intubated are rabbits and an alpaca, and both really are pretty easy if you do it right.
