    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Cricothyrotomy is a critical procedure for emergency airway management.
    • Existing devices may have limitations in terms of construction, trauma, or concurrent use with other instruments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple, easily constructed cricothyrotomy cannula.
    • To evaluate its efficacy and safety in providing emergency airway access.
    • To present an accessory device for single-instrument cricothyrotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of the design and construction of the cricothyrotomy cannula.
    • Experimental evaluation of the device's ability to admit adequate air.
    • Assessment of potential trauma to the posterior laryngeal wall.

  • Evaluation of compatibility with the FG10 suction catheter.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed cricothyrotomy cannula is simple and easy to construct.
    • Experiments confirmed adequate airflow for sustaining life.
    • The instrument does not cause trauma to the posterior laryngeal wall.
    • The cannula's dimensions permit concurrent use of the FG10 suction catheter.

    Conclusions:

    • The described cricothyrotomy cannula is an effective and safe device for emergency airway management.
    • Its design facilitates concurrent suctioning, improving clinical utility.
    • An accessory device further enhances the procedure's efficiency.
