ABSTRACT
Bougie is an important adjunct in the anaesthesiologist armoury for a difficult airway1. Physical damage to bougie leading to airway trauma is rare but can be catastrophic. We report a case of an anticipated difficult extubation, where the bougie, used to extubate over the tube broke and migrated into the trachea indicating the need of a protocol for routine inspection of bougie which should be strictly adhered to
