Intratracheal instillation

 * ... that intratracheal instillation, the introduction of a substance directly into the trachea, is a widely used alternative to inhalation for respiratory toxicity testing?
 * Source: "However, for various reasons, [inhalation] cannot always be used, and the direct instillation of a test material into the lungs via the trachea has been employed in many studies as an alternative exposure procedure. Intratracheal instillation has become sufficiently widely used..."
 * Reviewed: Robert E. Finnigan
 * Comment: I have >5 DYK credits on my non-Wikipedia-in-Residence account, so a QPQ is required.

 * Symbol question.svg Nominated for DYK one day after creation, and is over 2kB, satisfying length and date criteria. QPQ in progress. Sources are reliable and cited inline, with no copyvio. Hook is almost 170 characters, and although there is a ref for this, there is no citation attached to the statement in the article. (All hook facts must have an inline citation.) Please add the citation, then this will be good to go. Moreover, I think the hook would benefit from trimming some superfluous details, perhaps ending with "...is used for respiratory toxicity testing?", instead of mentioning inhalation. I am assuming good faith for ref 3, which has a Google Books link, but for which the preview blocks the specified source pages.  Mind  matrix  16:00, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Fixed. I'd like to keep the part about inhalation because it keeps the hook accessible.  Otherwise it's just a straight definition of a technical-looking term.  John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 20:45, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
