| Endotracheal tube introducer|| [[Special:MyLanguage/Bougie|Gum elastic bougie]]<br />
||<br />
*Higher first pass success when used with direct laryngscope vs. styletted ET tube regardless of whether difficult airway was expected or not<ref>Driver, B. E., Prekker, M. E., Klein, L. R., Reardon, R. F., Miner, J. R., Fagerstrom, E. T., … Cole, J. B. (2018). Effect of Use of a Bougie vs Endotracheal Tube and Stylet on First-Attempt Intubation Success Among Patients With Difficult Airways Undergoing Emergency Intubation: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 319(21), 2179–2189.</ref><br />
*Can pass blind and confirm tracheal placement with tracheal clicks and hold-up sign<br />
||<br />
*Success rates likely depend on operator familiarity with device<br />
|-<br />
| Lighted optical stylets||<br />
||<br />
*High success rate - especially good for trauma, c-spine precautions <br />
*Use for both reg and nasotrach <br />
*Lower complication rate<br />
||<br />
*Limited by fogging, secretion, recognition of anatomy, cost, and rare provider experience<br />
|-<br />
| [[Special:MyLanguage/Supraglottic airway|Supraglottic airway]]||LMA<br />
||<br />
*Easy to place<br />
*Can be placed quickly<br />
||<br />
*Does not protect against aspiration<br />
|-<br />
| Esophogeal obturator||Combitube<br />
||<br />
*Good for nurses and paramedics with limited intubation skill <br />
*Indicated if difficult airway predicted: cannot see glottis with laryngoscope <br />
*Reduced risk for aspiration compared to face mask or LMA *Can maintain spinal immobilization<br />
||<br />
*Large size predisposes to esophogeal dilatation and laceration as a complication<br />
|-<br />
| [[Special:MyLanguage/Pediatric jet ventilation|Pediatric jet ventilation]]<br />
||<br />
||<br />
*Prefered over cricothyrotomy in children up to age 10-12 <br />
*Oxygenates well <br />
*Can use for 30-45 min<br />
||<br />
*Can retain CO2 <br />
*May cause pneumothorax or barotrauma<br />
