✦ Synopsis

Summary In a randomised cross‐over study, 20 anaesthetists attempted to place a multiple‐ or single‐use bougie in the trachea of a manikin, in which a grade 3 Cormack and Lehane laryngoscopic view was simulated. The anaesthetists made two attempts at placement with each bougie and were blinded to success (tracheal placement) or failure (oesophageal placement). The success rates for the first attempts with the multiple‐ and single‐use bougies were 85 and 15%, respectively [mean (95% CI) difference between the two bougies 70% (40–84%); p < 0.001]. The success rates for the second attempts were similar to those for the first attempts with both bougies. There is an increased risk of failure to intubate the trachea when using a single‐use bougie, and this must be weighed against the unquantified risk of cross‐infection from prions when using a multiple‐use bougie.

**Summary** We studied the success rates for tracheal intubation in 32 healthy, anaesthetised patients during simulated grade IIIa laryngoscopy, randomised to either the multiple‐use or the single‐use bougie.

Handling and efficacy of a new video‐optical intubation stylet were assessed in a simulated difficult tracheal intubation setting and compared with a conventional malleable stylet. Forty‐five anaesthetists performed 10 tracheal intubations using both techniques. Laryngoscopy was performed by the obs

We have found it to be a most rapid and complete dispersing agent for primary fibroblastic cell lines and clearly superior to trypsin. On the other hand, with certain continuous
