A small amount of water-soluble lubricant applied to the
distal tip of the endotracheal tube and/or bougie can
facilitate intubation.
Bougie Port Method:
Pass a bougie through the Bougie
Port and into the glottis.
a.
The bougie should be taken straight from its
packaging and inserted,
coudé tip first
, into the Bougie
Port. Keep your eyes on the PATIENT when advancing
the bougie into the Bougie Port. Alternatively, pre-load
the bougie into the bougie port prior to introducing
the disposable sheath into the patient’s mouth.
Then
advance the bougie and observe the bougie passing
through the glottis on the display.
b.
Pass an endotracheal tube over the bougie in
the usual fashion.
c.
Ensure that the bougie is dislodged from the
Bougie Port as the endotracheal tube is advanced.
d.
Watch as the endotracheal tube passes
through the glottis on the display.
e. Remove the bougie while stabilizing the
endotracheal tube and verify proper tube placement.
f.
If the endotracheal tube does not enter easily
into the trachea, you may try turning the endotracheal
tube 90 degrees counter clockwise and gently advance
into the trachea.
