Abstract
Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure in emergency
medicine with numerous adjuncts developed and utilized to
manage the difficult airway.1 However, many of these adjuncts
are expensive and may not be available either in the pre-hospi-
tal setting or in limited resource settings. Digital intubation is
an alternate approach, less commonly described in the litera-
ture, 2,3 which may be valuable when visualization of the vocal
cords is limited or impossible.
