Frequently Asked Questions?

What is a cricothyroidotomy?

It is the emergency procedure in managing difficult airways to avoid death from suffocation in the event of upper airway obstruction when intubation or tracheotomy are impossible.

What are the benefits of using Cricothyroidotomy in a Pre-Hospital Environment?

Cricothyroidotomy in a pre-hospital environment enables lower level clinicians to respond faster, making it safer for patients with upper airway difficulties.

How can the Quicktrach II assist in an Emergency Airway Scenario?

• providing a fast and safe airway in the event of upper airway obstruction
• sterile sets are pre-assembled and immediately ready for use
• A specially grinded needle tip makes prior incision via scalpel unnecessary, and reduces the risk of bleeding
• stopper prevents needle from being inserted too deep to reduce the risk of posterior tracheal wall perforation
• necktape allows a fast and safe fixation
• quickest airway access via one-step procedure

How can the Quicktrach II minimize the risk of Gastric Aspiration?

• The ultra-thin cuff seals the trachea and allows efficient ventilation with aspiration protection
• The anatomically shaped cannula adjusts to the trachea due to “memory effect“

What tidal volumes can you achieve with a Quicktrach II?

The Quicktrach II has shown to effectively ventilate at tidal volumes exceeding 600 mL regardless of upper airway size.

Is there a danger of a CO2 build up with Needle Cric’s?

The Quicktrach has a wide bore allowing positive ventilation of gas, and therefore removes any danger of Co2 build up.

Is there a difference between Cricothyroidotomy & Cricothyrotomy?

There are several words used that all refer to the same procedure, therefore they are both the same.

What are the current Pre-Hospital Airway Management Guidelines when the Upper Airway cannot be secured?

Consider Needle Cricothyroidotomy and supplement with high levels of oxygen.
