AIROD Case Series: A New Bougie for Endotracheal Intubation.

Background: Trauma services are an important yet expensive facet of emergency. AIROD® is a single-use telescopic bougie that is small enough to fit into a pocket.
AIROD® is sterile and can be expanded in hast when needed, saving precious seconds, while attempting to intubate a patient. The non-malleable bougie is able
to overcome the compressive force of the oropharyngeal tissue improving the view of the vocal cords and facilitating advancement of an endotracheal tube into
the trachea along with a laryngoscope.
