PY - 2018 T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - The endotracheal tube introducer (also known as an introducer) and a tracheal tube bougie (also known as the bougie) have been effective, easy-to-use, and inexpensive adjuncts to difficult airway management for many years (Figure 22-1).1 Although newer devices such as the fiberoptic bronchoscopes and the video laryngoscopes are becoming more frequently used in the Emergency Department (ED) in difficult airway situations, skills pertaining to bougie insertion should be developed and maintained.2 They can be valuable if other intubating modalities are not readily available or the airway cannot be secured with direct laryngoscopy. It is recommended that a bougie be readily available in every ED.
