  • Title: [Translaryngeal trocar, alternative to tracheotomy in the dental office].
    Author: Pelissier A.
    Journal: Rev Odontostomatol (Paris); 1991; 20(5):431-7. PubMed ID: 1811310.
    Abstract:
    The emergency tracheotomy is indicated when there is a respiratory distress caused by the complete obstruction of the upper airway and when the etiological and symptomatic treatments have failed. However, it is not an easy procedure for a non specialist outside the hospital environment. The translaryngeal stem maintains a minimal ventilation while waiting for the emergency medical unit.
