Success Rates with Digital Intubation: Comparing Unassisted, Stylet, and Gum-Elastic Bougie Techniques

摘要

Introduction-The utility of digital intubation, especially in an austere environment with limited equipment, has been previously described. However, evidence supporting best practices for its technique is limited. We seek to quantify the time to intubation and the rate of successful placement of the tube for digital intubation using different approaches and assistance devices.
