Abstract: Background: A high-fidelity task simulator for cricothyroidotomy was created using data from a 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography scan using a 3D printer. We hypothesized that this high-fidelity cricothyroidotomy simulator results in increased proficiency for needle… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Traditional surgical teaching advocates converting emergency cricothyroidotomies to tracheostomies to mitigate the risk of subglottic stenosis. A conversion procedure that may risk losing a tenuous airway should have clear benefits over risks. We aimed… read more here.

Abstract: Cricothyroidotomy is considered the preferred emergency front-of-neck airway access technique, as it has shown a significantly reduced incidence of late complications compared to emergency tracheostomy. Even so, when attempting cricothyroidotomy during the acute phase of… read more here.
