In a randomised cross‐over study, 48 anaesthetists attempted to place a Frova single‐use introducer, an Eschmann multiple‐use introducer and a Portex single‐use introducer in the trachea of a manikin set up to simulate a grade 3 laryngoscopic view. The anaesthetists were blinded to success (tracheal placement) or failure (oesophageal placement). Successful placement (proportion, 95% confidence interval) of either the Frova introducer (65%, 50–77%) or the Eschmann introducer (60%, 46–73%) was… Expand

Evaluation of tracheal tube introducers in simulated difficult intubation *
TLDR
The single‐use introducers are more likely to cause tissue trauma during placement, particularly if held close to the tip, and the single‐ use introducers have a higher likelihood of causing tissue trauma than the new Portex or Frova. Expand
A comparison of the use of Trachlight® and Eschmann multiple‐use introducer in simulated difficult intubation
TLDR
The Trachlight® is a potentially useful alternative to the Eschmann multiple‐use introducer in difficult intubation and should be considered as a potential alternative in future studies, according to prior use. Expand
Evaluation of clinical effectiveness of the Frova single‐use tracheal tube introducer
TLDR
The Frova introducer has a high success rate for tracheal placement but has noteworthy potential to produce airway trauma. Expand
The problem of cross‐over design in airway studies
TLDR
Evaluation of Frova, single-use intubation introducer, in a manikin: comparison with Eschmann multiple-use introducer and Portex single- use introducer. Expand
Airway injury caused by a Portex single-use bougie.
TLDR
The anesthesiologists in the department agreed not to use single-use introducers in their practice any longer, due to the experience of a 61-year-old woman with esophageal reflux, who received rapidsequence induction with application of cricoid pressure. Expand
Comparison of malleable stylet and reusable and disposable bougies by paramedics in a simulated difficult intubation
In a randomised crossover study, 60 ambulance paramedics attempted tracheal intubation of a manikin model of a Cormack and Lehane grade 3/4 view using a Portex stylet, Portex and Frova single‐use… Expand
Airway Scope®‐assisted nasotracheal intubation
TLDR
Clinicians should be aware that when the Portex Venn reusable introducer is placed in the fridge before use, the associated increase in stiffness that improves the incidence of successful tracheal placement results in increased peak forces at the tip and an associated increased risk of airway trauma. Expand
Effect of trolley height on the management of difficult airway; a manikin study*
TLDR
Adjusting the trolley height before laryngoscopy appears to improve the intubating conditions and may have beneficial effect on anaesthetist’s posture during intubation. Expand
Stylets and Introducers
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vol. 42, No. 5, September 2014 “It is most disconcerting after a difficult exposure of the cords to be unable to direct the catheter between them for lack of control.”… Expand
Does the use of a bougie reduce the force of laryngoscopy in a difficult airway with manual in-line stabilisation?: A randomised crossover simulation study
TLDR
To minimise the force of laryngoscopy and movement of a potentially unstable cervical spine injury, consideration should be given to the early use of a bougie. Expand

A comparison of simulated difficult intubation with multiple‐use and single‐use bougies in a manikin *
TLDR
There is an increased risk of failure to intubate the trachea when using a single‐use bougie, and this must be weighed against the unquantified risk of cross‐infection from prions when using two‐ or multiple‐ use bougies. Expand
Bougie‐assisted difficult airway management in a manikin – the effect of position held on placement and force exerted by the tip *
TLDR
In a randomised cross‐over study, 50 anaesthetists attempted to place a multiple‐use bougie in the trachea of a manikin, when holding it at either 20 cm or 30’cm from the tip, particularly if held close to the tip. Expand
To shape or not to shape…Simulated bougie‐assisted difficult intubation in a manikin *
TLDR
It is suggested that bougies used to facilitate difficult intubation should be curved and have a coudé tip. Expand
Use of the bougie in simulated difficult intubation. 2. Comparison of single‐use bougie with multiple‐use bougie *
TLDR
It is concluded that the multiple‐use bougie is a more reliable aid to tracheal intubation than the single‐use introducer in grade IIIa laryngoscopy. Expand
Successful difficult intubation
TLDR
These signs of tracheal placement of a gum elastic bougie are reliable and that they should be taught as part of any difficult intubation drill in which the gum elasticbougie is used. Expand
A response to ‘Bougie trauma – it is still possible’, Prabhu A, Pradham P, Sanaka R and Bilolikar A, Anaesthesia 2003; 58: 811–12
TLDR
Through the use of methylmethacrylate mixed in a vacuum for surgical repair of femoral neck fractures with cemented hip arthroplasty, the incidence of severe cardiac complications could be reduced significantly. Expand
Survey of the use of the gum elastic bougie in clinical practice.
TLDR
Various recommendations for optimal external laryngeal pressure and use of the bougie were not followed on 15-64% of occasions and there is a need for better education in these techniques. Expand
An evaluation of the gum elastic bougie
TLDR
There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative sore throat and hoarseness between the two groups, and anaesthetists should use the gum elastic bougie whenever a good view of the glottis is not immediately obtained. Expand
Difficult airway equipment in English emergency departments
TLDR
A telephone survey to determine the availability of equipment for the management of the difficult airway in English emergency departments found the majority of units held a curved laryngoscope blade, gum elastic bougie, and surgical airway device. Expand
Difficult tracheal intubation.
TLDR
It is confirmed anecdotal evidence that video laryngoscopy facilitates intubation in patients with challenging airways, and can be useful in the nonanesthetized patient, and a turning point in the thinking about the best tool to secure a difficult airway management is represented. Expand
