Intubation system
An intubation system is provided. The intubation system includes a metal tip bougie and a locating base. The metal tip bougie includes a bougie body with a metal tip disposed at a first end of the bougie body. The locating base includes a first magnet, a conformable base, a sensor, and an electricity port. The conformable base is disposed at a first end of the first magnet and the sensor is disposed at a second end of the first magnet. The electricity port is disposed between the first end and the second end of the first magnet. A bottom of the conformable base includes at least two runners configured to allow the locating base to slide up a neck of a patient.
1 . An intubation system, comprising:
a metal tip bougie and a locating base;
wherein the metal tip bougie includes a bougie body with a metal tip disposed at a first end of the bougie body;
wherein the locating base includes a first magnet, a conformable base, a sensor, a protrusion, and an electricity port;
wherein the conformable base is disposed at a first end of the first magnet and the sensor is disposed at a second end of the first magnet;
