Flextip ETT introducer (boujie)

[Johann Mc Dermott]

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.

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?
