d-Grip Bougie Use Caution

[@Maddawg31415]

It’s a problem I agree. Honestly, I see pros and cons between the D-grip, Shaka Grip, and naked bougie methods. Depends on the circumstances and provider comfort

Important question. Can you always cannulate with this technique???

place the tip into the lumen of the ETT Tube and not the eye. This will use the diameter of the Bougie x 2 inside the lumen of the tube causing the plastic on plastic as a keeper. You can keep your ETT in a tighter loop therefore using more Bougie length

Interesting . How? Can you tell me more?

Very good explanation and the demonstration on the model was very helpful in understanding. I understand the potential problems, and what not to do. However, I was waiting to hear what TO do?
