Brief Summary: In patients with cervical spine injury securing the airway while adequately immobilizing the cervical spine to avoid secondary neurological damage is very challenging Although awake fiber-optic intubation is the most reliable method in patients with cervical trauma it has some limitations such as lack of availability need for expertise in the use difficulty with non-cooperative patients or presence of blood or secretions in the airway Two devices are commonly used to facilitate tracheal intubation a stylet or a tracheal tube introducer bougie
Detailed Description: The Universal Stylet Bougie or USB represents a significant advance in the design and development of tracheal introducers bougies and stylets Traditionally the design requirements of styles and bougies have always been considered incompatible A stylet requires sufficient rigidity to allow the tracheal tube to be manipulated to a variety of angles whereas a bougie needs to be flexible enough to allow positive tracheal ring feedback to allow correct placement

The unique design of the USB means the device can be used as a stylet or as a bougie It consists of two metals inserted on both sides and a flexible middle section The USB can easily be manipulated to a variety of angles when used as a stylet yet has the flexibility when used as a bougie In addition the hexagonal shape provides less contact with the inner surface of the tracheal tube providing particularly easy insertion and removal

In this study we are simulating a difficult intubating condition by limiting the cervical neck extension through applying a rigid neck collar Subsequently we will assess whether using the USB device could improve the successful rate of intubation in these patients
