Objective: Emergency cricothyrotomy is a life-saving procedure that is performed in "can't intubate can't oxygenate" scenario. A recent study comparing an open surgical technique using a bougie and endotracheal tube (ETT) with a Seldinger technique using the Cook Melker catheter showed that the open technique was quicker but suggested that the open technique could be quicker if using the Melker catheter instead of a bougie and ETT. The objective of this study was to compare the surgical technique using bougie and ETT with an open technique using the Melker catheter.

Introduction: Airway management of infants is challenging, and video laryngoscopes can help reduce intubation attempts and improve glottic visualization. In this study, we compared the Besdata video laryngoscope with the Miller laryngoscope in neonates and infants 6 months of age.
Methods: After obtaining informed written consent from the parents, we randomized 80 infants scheduled for elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation into two groups, Group DL and Group VL.

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.

Purpose: When difficulty with laryngoscopy is encountered, confirmation of endotracheal access can be confirmed using the tactile feedback (i.e., tracheal clicks) of a tracheal tube introducer (bougie).
