PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue — Surgical Airway

BAC-Pack — Bougie-Aided Cricothyroidotomy Pack

An all-in-one surgical airway pack for the bougie-aided open technique — a pre-inserted bougie in a flexible cuffed 6mm tube, plus scalpel, hook, syringe, securing strap, and prep in a 500D roll-out pouch staged in order of use.

All-in-onePre-inserted bougie6mm cuffed tube5.2 oz

When conventional airway management has failed — a “can't intubate, can't oxygenate” casualty from massive facial trauma, obstruction, or anatomy — the surgical airway is the last option, and it has to come together fast under the worst conditions.

What puts every component for the bougie-aided technique in one pack?

The BAC-Pack is NAR's all-in-one kit for the bougie-aided open surgical technique. Its defining feature is a bougie pre-inserted into a flexible cuffed 6mm tracheostomy tube, so the tube and guide come staged as one unit rather than separate items to assemble. Everything else — #10 protected scalpel, NAR tracheal hook, 10cc Luer-lock syringe, tube securing strap, alcohol pad, and gauze — sits in a 500D nylon roll-out pouch in order of use. 5.2 oz. The tube meets TCCC specifications for the open surgical technique.

Why This Pack

Pre-Inserted Bougie

Bougie pre-loaded in the cuffed tube — tube and guide staged as one unit, fully adjustable with a bougie cap/stopper.

TCCC Tube Spec

Flanged/cuffed, <10mm OD, 6–7mm ID, 5–8cm intratracheal length — meets TCCC open-surgical specs.

#10 Protected Scalpel

Blade covered until use — reduces inadvertent laceration during high-stress deployment.

Order-of-Use Pouch

500D nylon roll-out holds every component in the sequence it's needed.

Provider Scope

Cricothyroidotomy is a surgical procedure requiring specific training and competency, performed by credentialed providers within their scope of practice and local protocol. Per CoTCCC, a surgical airway is indicated when airway adjuncts have failed and the casualty requires a definitive airway. This pack is offered as equipment for qualified providers and is not a substitute for formal surgical-airway training. No procedural technique is provided here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is bougie-aided cricothyroidotomy and why is it preferred over standard technique?

Bougie-aided cricothyroidotomy uses a semi-rigid introducer (bougie) to guide the tracheal tube into the trachea after the incision is made in the cricothyroid membrane. This technique improves first-pass success by providing directional guidance for tube placement — reducing the risk of tube misplacement into a false passage or esophagus. The CoTCCC guidelines identify the bougie-aided open surgical technique as the preferred approach for surgical airway in tactical and combat settings. The BAC-Pack pre-loads the bougie into the tube, simplifying the procedure further.

Does the BAC-Pack tube meet TCCC specifications?

Yes. The NAR Tracheostomy Tube with Bougie-Introducer included in the BAC-Pack meets TCCC recommendations for the open surgical technique: flanged and cuffed airway cannula with less than 10 mm outer diameter, 6–7 mm inner diameter, and 5–8 cm of intratracheal length. These specifications ensure adequate ventilation while minimizing airway trauma and were established specifically for combat and tactical prehospital use.

Who is trained to use the BAC-Pack?

The BAC-Pack is intended for advanced medical providers with specific training and authorization in surgical airway technique — including combat medics (18D, 68W at appropriate levels), paramedics, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and similarly trained personnel. Cricothyroidotomy is not a basic life support (BLS) skill. Providers should complete hands-on training on simulation models before attempting the procedure in a live patient scenario. Authorization requirements vary by state and scope of practice.

When is cricothyroidotomy indicated in TCCC?

Per CoTCCC guidelines, surgical cricothyroidotomy is indicated when all less-invasive airway interventions have failed to establish a patent airway. This includes situations where NPA insertion, recovery positioning, jaw thrust, and supraglottic airway placement are insufficient — typically due to massive facial trauma, airway obstruction from blood/vomit/foreign body, severe laryngeal trauma, or anatomical factors preventing conventional airway management. It is a last-resort, life-saving procedure in the 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' scenario.

What is the advantage of the pre-inserted bougie in the BAC-Pack?

Traditional bougie-aided cricothyroidotomy requires the provider to perform the incision, then separately introduce the bougie through the membrane opening before railroading the tube. The BAC-Pack pre-loads the bougie into the cuffed tracheostomy tube, eliminating the separate bougie introduction step. This reduces the total number of procedural steps and hand movements, decreasing procedure time and cognitive load — particularly important when the provider is operating under extreme stress, in low light, or while managing multiple casualties.
