Dave, I think the bougie is approved in Massachusetts.  I do however, think
that your medical control physician needs to approve the training and
implementation for its use.  I maybe wrong but I think you are able to have
it on board the trucks.  By the way I'm not sure if you saw my posting on
the Howland locks.  Check them out.

Larry, 

  I dont know if you have been following the other topic about the flex tip
ETT introducer (bougie), but I saved most of the replies from the list, I'd
be happy to send you the replies, if you are interested. I have experience
with the combi-tube, and it works as a back up airway device. I'm interested
in using the bougie out in the field once it gets approved in MA for ems!!

Reasons for an advanced airway:(trauma-medical-burns), and the places you
may be intubating,( the box, a darkly lighted small room in a house-on scene
of a MVC), what do you suggust as a back-up to the ETT. A Combi-tube, a LMA
or a bougie ? Thanks for any input. Larry Ofiara, R.N.
