There used to be a piece of equipment called the Chenoweth Stylet that was
amazing in the prehospital and ED setting.  Don't know if it is still
manufactured or not, but a shame if it is not.

(I have no financial interest in the device or the company that produced it,
nor does my current employer)

Take care,

Damn fine piece of equipment. Bailed me out of a couple of tight spots 
before. Here in SA it is pretty much left up to the individual to get 
hold of  one. Was  introduced to it by an anaethetist friend of mine. 
Every intubator should have one.

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?
