We report a case in which an air medical crew used a gum-elastic bougie (endotracheal tube introducer), a common device in many airway kits, to facili...
متن کاملComparison of the bleeding cricothyrotomy model to SimMan for training students and residents emergency cricothyrotomy
Introduction: A cricothyroidotomy is an emergency procedurethat few emergency medicine residents see or perform duringtheir training. Therefore, there is a need for low cost, high fidelitymodels for training. In this study, we explore a new training modelfor cricothyroidotomies (the bleeding CRIC [cost-effective realisticinteractive cricothyroidotomy]) to determine...
متن کاملEmergency cricothyrotomy – a systematic review
BACKGROUND An emergency cricothyrotomy is the last-resort in most airway management protocols and is performed when it is not possible to intubate or ventilate a patient. This situation can rapidly prove fatal, making it important to identify the best method to establish a secure airway. We conducted a systematic review to identify whether there exists superiority between available commercial k...
