Ponnusamy T, et al. - Semi-rigid flexible introducer-guided tracheal intubation is associated with pharyngolaryngeal morbidities. Herein, taking into account pharyngolaryngeal morbidities, the practice of railroading a newly described modified reinforced silicone tracheal tube with a built-in guide channel in its wall over a non-kinking guidewire was compared with railroading the same tube over a disposable bougie. Researchers found that wire-guided vs bougie-guided orotracheal intubation was associated with a lower incidence of pharyngolaryngeal complaints and effect on the voice.
