- Abstract
The article focuses on the bougie-assisted cricothyrotomy technique which the emergency physician, anesthesiologist and surgeon are advised to learn and perform. The technique is described as easy for beginners to learn, involves the use of standard equipment and has been successfully applied in the clinical setting. An airway bougie and a standard endotracheal tube are used instead of a Shiley tracheal tube when performing the technique.
