Cricothyrotomy
Abstract
Cricothyrotomy is a simple and safe method for obtaining airway control during situations in which endotracheal intubation is difficult or contraindicated. Cricothyrotomy can be a lifesaving procedure. It can be done quickly in emergency situations by nonsurgeons with a minimum of necessary equipment and without requiring an operating room. The anatomy, specific techniques or procedure, indications and contraindications, and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
