Flexible‐tip bougie vs. stylet for tracheal intubation with a hyperangulated videolaryngoscope in critical care: a randomised controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
In the ICU, first-attempt tracheal intubation success with a hyperangulated blade videolaryngoscope was higher using the flexible-tip bougie than the stylet.
