Abstract
A TPT induced in a small rabbit is an excellent teaching model for the treatment of a TPT in the small human neonate. Pediatric housestaff, neonatal nurses, and others have utilized this model to gain confidence and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of TPT. The rabbit model is inexpensive, readily available, and recreates the clinical condition of a TPT in an educational environment.Keywords
