Emergency airway procedures like cricothyrotomy can be life-saving but carry risks. Complications such as stenosis and voice changes following these procedures, and high tracheostomy, remain relevant concerns.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency medicine
  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical complications

Background:

  • Cricothyrotomy is a critical emergency airway procedure.
  • Potential complications include stenosis and voice changes.
  • These issues can be overlooked in critically ill patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the persistent relevance of complications associated with emergency airway procedures.
  • To emphasize the long-term consequences of cricothyrotomy and high tracheostomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical warnings regarding airway procedures.
  • Analysis of documented complications from cricothyrotomy and tracheostomy.

Main Results:

  • High incidences of stenosis and voice changes are associated with these procedures.

  • Complications are often neglected due to patient comorbidities.

    • Conclusions:

    • The warnings issued over 70 years ago regarding airway procedure complications remain pertinent.
    • Awareness and management of post-procedural stenosis and voice changes are crucial.
