✦ Synopsis

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. Success rates (primary end‐point) and times taken (secondary end‐point) to achieve tracheal intubation were recorded. The multiple‐use bougie was more successful than the single‐use one (15/16 successful intubations vs. 9/16; p = 0.03). With either device, median [range] total tracheal intubation times for successful attempts were < 54 [24–84] s and there were no clinically important differences between these times. We conclude that the multiple‐use bougie is a more reliable aid to tracheal intubation than the single‐use introducer in grade IIIa laryngoscopy.

**Summary** Data were collected prospectively on the use of the gum elastic bougie in 200 patients. The bougie was successfully inserted into the trachea and tracheal intubation was accomplished in 199 cases. The bougie was inserted into the trachea at the first attempt in 178 cases. In nine cases (
