Prevention of heat rash is the best treatment for heat rash. Avoid hot environments and take refuge in cooler environments. Air conditioners, oscillating fans, and limiting physical activity in a hot environment can help prevent heat rash.
Borrowing from French bougie â(âwax candleâ), after the Algerian city Bougie, and the tapered, hand-dipped candles it made. bougie â(plural bougies) (medicine) A tapered cylindrical instrument for introducing an object into a tubular anatomical structure, or to dilate such a structure, as with an esophageal bougie.
TERMINOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT. Several terms are used to describe the classic endotracheal tube introducer (ETI). Although the phrase gum elastic bougie is common, we find it confusing since the ETI is neither gum nor elastic and is not used as a bougie (ie, dilator). In this topic, we will refer to the device as an endotracheal or tracheal tube introducer. The ETI consists of a 60 cm stylet with the distal tip bent at a 30 degree angle. The bend allows the intubator to direct the tip anteriorly under the epiglottis and through the vocal cords, which may not be visible.
