  • Title: Intubation bougie dissection of tracheal mucosa and intratracheal airway obstruction.
    Author: Arndt GA, Cambray AJ, Tomasson J.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2008 Aug; 107(2):603-4. PubMed ID: 18633039.
    Abstract:
    Intubation bougies are commonly used to aid in intubation when an optimal view of the larynx is not obtained. We describe a case of tracheal perforation using a disposable intubation bougie resulting in a complete intratracheal airway obstruction relieved by cricothyrotomy. Disposable intubation bougies may have mechanical properties that differ from their nondisposable counterparts making complications more likely.
