intubate the trachea on the first attempt occurs in up to 20% of cases and is associated with …

Importance The tracheal tube introducer, known as the bougie, is typically used to aid
tracheal intubation in poor laryngoscopic views or after intubation attempts fail. The effect of …

Purpose The effect of the routine use of a stylet during tracheal intubation on first-attempt
intubation success is unclear. We hypothesised that the first-attempt intubation success rate …

Study objective The bougie is typically treated as a rescue device for difficult airways. We
evaluate whether first-attempt success rate during paramedic intubation in the out-of …

Study objective The bougie may improve first-pass intubation success in operating room
patients. We seek to determine whether bougie use is associated with emergency …

Tracheal intubation in critically ill patients is a high-risk procedure. The risk of complications
