| (documentation Cricothyroidotomy EnglishLanguage "A cricothyrotomy (also called cricothyroidotomy) is an incision made through the Skin and cricothyroid membrane to establish a patient Airway during certain life-threatening situations, such as airway obstruction by a foreign body, angioedema, or massive facial trauma. Cricothyrotomy is nearly always performed as a last resort in cases where other means of tracheal intubation are impossible or impractical. Compared with tracheotomy, cricothyrotomy is quicker and easier to perform, does not require manipulation of the cervical spine, and is associated with fewer complications. However, while cricothyrotomy may be life-saving in extreme circumstances, this technique is only intended to be a temporizing measure until a definitive airway can be established.[from Wikipedia]") | Medicine.kif 743-750 | |
