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.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.17788
Abstract: Background Performing an emergency cricothyroidotomy (EC) is extremely challenging, the devices used should be easy to handle and the selected technique reliable. However, there is still an ongoing debate concerning the most superior technique. Methods… read more here.
