There's someone in this thread on that other EMS site who says it's not bad on a manikin.

I work with the guy that created this. It really is a simple, but highly effective device. You should get one once they start selling and see for yourself. I know they tested it in several cadaver labs during the development of it.

I just watched the video. Very impressive.
Does anyone know a system that is using this device?
Does anyone know of any clinical trials or research that has been done on this device?

Update on my question. I communicated with Dr. Bledsoe yesterday. He states that clinical trials begin soon. I am looking forward to the results.

I don't think any device such as this should be given ANY thought UNTIL some sort of independent trial on humans has been performed and the results published. I absolutely loath the fact that devices like this can be marketed without any trial having been performed.

Sure... and I expect double blind cross over studies on each manufacture's take on NRBs, NCs, cardboard splints, ECG electrodes, etc. Something like this isn't introducing a new treatment, per say, but a new way to preform a treatment. Either it works, or it doesn't and it's as simple as that.

I don't expect a randomized, controlled study. But, it'd be nice if they could at least provide the results of a prospective evaluation that outlines the success rate, ease of use, etc. before they start exclaiming that this chunk of plastic "...allows more rapid, safe and effective endotracheal intubation" and "What once took minutes, now takes just seconds!"

I'm actually in the process of starting a cadaveric study on the device, but it seems they stop making it? because the web site no longer works. Has any one used it recently?
