One of the first examples of the success with the gum elastic bougie was a simulated trial. 100 patients undergoing elective surgery with a simulated Grade III airway
- 48 / 50 (96%) of bougie patients intubated within two attempts
- 33 / 50 (66%) of patients intubated using a stylette
- Mean time for intubation was 30.1s for the bougie vs. 36.6s for the stylette. [27]
