BEAM trial showed 98% first-pass success using a<unk>  compared to 87% using stylet for intubation.
Smaller diameter allows for increased visualization when passing through vocal cords
"Tracheal clicks" and "hold-up" signs for tactile confirmation of correct placement
Especially helpful with Cormack-Lehane views II-IV (can be passed blind and placement confirmed with tactile feedback)
Used in "scalpel-bougie-tube" cricothyrotomy technique
Can assist blind digital intubation
Can rotate 90° CW or CWW to selectively intubate non-bleeding lung in cases of massive hemoptysis
