  • 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.
