Emergency standard open tracheostomy is performed in impending or actual cardiac and respiratory-cardiac arrest. Indications are rare, but the procedure must be safe and rapidly effective. Neither facilitating (but risky) neck manipulations nor electrocautery are required nor, because of the urgency to obtain airway ingress, are bilateral traction stitches applied. No intravenous line should be...
