Needle Cricothyroidotomy

[@tomwademd381]

Outstanding! The 9th edition (2013) of ATLS Student Course Manual recommends using a 12- or 14-gauge, 8.5 cm over-the-needle catheter (p 59). Inchildren, it recommends a 16- to 18-gauge catheter (p 45).The manual further states: "The cannula is then connected to oxygen at 15 L/min (40 to 50 psi) with a Y-connector or a side hole cut in the tubing between the oxygen source and the plastic cannula (p 45)."

The DIY connector with side hole is fantastic !

[@tommenzie2458]

I love the improvisation. I’m going to use this if goodness forbid I ever have to

[@gailybirdy]

Very clear and concise. The best demonstration I've seen. Thank you for sharing :-)

[@petercoldwell1577]

I also recommend 2 cc of NS in the syringe used to entre the trachea. This will aid, from bubbles, in determining when the lumen is entered.

You are great doctor , very clear

[@ianfossett4482]

Excellent demonstration 👍👍

I find it very hard to locate the cricothyroid membrane

[@dr.s.m.sureshbabu8699]

Got stuck in a situation like this... But trust me.. There was no time to find something to cut a hole.. And no time to match the ett connector with the right syringe..

[@ನಗದುನಾಣ್ಯ]

Can u elaborate how u managed the situation sir

[@cheekyweirmonkey]

Can we utilise a bag valve mask instead of the hole in the syringe?

[@vimi659]

Awesome! What is the O2 flow rate? Can you just connect a Jackson reeves instead of making a hole in the syringe connected? Thanks

This video will save lots of people, thank you!

[@keithkersten5586]

Great explanation and demonstration.

[@Rob-pg7zx]

Thank you for this useful demonstration. I have a question: Why do we only allow oxygen to be delivered for 1 second at a time? Would more oxygen not be beneficial?

[@ketaminekp]

Brother, dont you want to exhale. We allow oxygen for one second and allow exhalation for 4 seconds. As the flow rates are high, risk of barotrauma is there.

[@FlirtyFaisal]

Awesome mate, wonderful.
Very well done.

[@kushanhewavitharana]

Great demonstration of diy stuff

[@MannyF1986]

Can you connect the end off the ETT to a ambu-bag??

[@上下四方往古来今]

I think can

[@brandonknight9527]

You can, thats how I was taught
