  • Title: Cannula cricothyroidotomy and rescue oxygenation with the Rapid-O2™ oxygen insufflation device in the management of a can't intubate/can't oxygenate scenario.
    Author: Wexler S, Hall K, Chin RY, Prineas SN.
    Journal: Anaesth Intensive Care; 2018 Jan; 46(1):97-101. PubMed ID: 29361262.
    Abstract:
    We describe the successful use of cannula cricothyroidotomy and the Rapid-O2™ oxygen insufflation device (Meditech Systems Ltd, Dorset, UK) for rescue of a can't intubate/can't oxygenate (CICO) scenario in a patient with severe airway haemorrhage post-debridement of laryngeal amyloidosis. This case highlights the practical utility of a cannula technique for CICO rescue when appropriate equipment is used and when institutional measures are taken to prepare for this rare anaesthetic crisis.
