Comparison of Traditional Bougie Versus Kiwi-D Grip Bougie Technique During Mechanical Chest Compressions: A Randomized Crossover Manikin Trial.

Background: Investigators have reported bougie use improves first-pass intubation success rates when compared to the endotracheal (ET) tube/stylet technique. We aimed to assess the difference in time to intubation and operator confidence between the Kiwi-D grip bougie and traditional bougie technique during simulated mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (mCPR).

Methods: This study was a prospective, randomized comparative study at a simulation center.
