Use this for assistance in intubating a difficult airway. It comes in adult and pedi sizes. Can also be used as a tube exchange device.
Bougie
This would be used to continually monitor blood pressure in critical trauma/medical patients. Requires MD insertion
Arterial Line
Profuse bleeding is noted from probable arterial injury to left arm. What would you place to reduce bleeding?

Smaller size chest tube. Does not have to be attached to an atrium.
Pigtail
Place this on the end of an ET tube to help confirm placement. Yellow means you are “golden”.
CO2 detector
You are needing to open the airway of an unconscious patient while preparing equipment to intubate. What would be used?

*extra point for how to measure for correct size and placement
A simple laceration repair would require this tray
