"Endotracheal tube introducers (gum elastic bougie) for emergency intubation The endotracheal tube introducer (ETI) is an effective and inexpensive adjunct to difficult airway management that is easy to use.~ETI is solid introducer 60-70 cm long with a 35 - 40 distally angulated (Coude) tip. They are easy to use, widely available, and have been used as adjuncts to difficult direct laryngoscopy for many decades.~The gum elastic bougie is usually guided by tactile clicks as the device passes the cartilage rings of the trachea.
