A 54-Year-Old Woman With Postextubation Stridor

A 54-year-old woman developed a witnessed generalized tonic clonic seizure at work. Paramedics recorded a blood glucose level of 30 mg/dL. Despite normalizing the blood glucose level, the patient's mental status did not improve, and she was intubated in the field. Given the limited view of the glottis, a tracheal tube introducer (Bougie) was used to facilitate intubation.
