[A new cricothyreotomy set for emergencies].

U Helms, K Heilmann

    Der Anaesthesist
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Emergency cricothyreotomy using the Nu-Trake device offers a safer alternative to traditional emergency tracheotomy, significantly reducing the risk of tracheal esophageal perforation for cardio-respiratory emergencies.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency medicine
    • Surgical procedures
    • Airway management

    Context:

    • Cardio-respiratory emergencies requiring airway intervention are rare.
    • Traditional emergency tracheotomy carries a risk of tracheal esophageal perforation.
    • Limited options exist for emergency airway access when intubation is not feasible.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Nu-Trake emergency cricothyreotomy set.
    • To compare the risk of tracheal esophageal perforation with the Nu-Trake device versus traditional methods.
    • To assess the ease of use for less experienced anesthesiologists.

    Summary:

    • The Nu-Trake emergency cricothyreotomy set was studied for its use in cardio-respiratory emergencies.
    • The study found a very small risk of tracheal esophageal perforation with the Nu-Trake device.
    • The device is considered easy to handle, even for less experienced personnel.

    Impact:

    • The Nu-Trake device presents a potentially safer option for emergency airway management.
    • Recommendations include incorporating the Nu-Trake into standard emergency ambulance equipment.
    • Minor improvements to the device by the manufacturer are suggested for optimal implementation.
