Yeah Dave, we do as well in a small city ambulance service in central
Massachusetts.  However, I have not had the chance to use them yet.  I
usually fall back to the trusty LMA.  That I have used and have had great
success with it. It's commonly used in many of the O.R's where we have an
agreement/privilege to intubate patients for practice.

Hey all, 

  I was wondering if there is any in/pre-hospital providers that use the
boujie (sp) for suspected difficult intubations? I did some recent training
with it, teaching in the paramedic program at Northeastern Univ in MA, Im
under the assumption that in MA its only approved for Umass medical center
EMS and Boston Medflight. Im thinking about doing a research project to see
the use of it as a back up device, when direct visualization is difficult or
impossible, or the use of it on a c-spine pt that needs intubation? Any
thoughts?
