[Translaryngeal trocar, alternative to tracheotomy in the dental office]
Abstract
The emergency tracheotomy is indicated when there is a respiratory distress caused by the complete obstruction of the upper airway and when the etiological and symptomatic treatments have failed. However, it is not an easy procedure for a non specialist outside the hospital environment. The translaryngeal stem maintains a minimal ventilation while waiting for the emergency medical unit.
