What is Cricothyroidotomy?
Cricothyroidotomy is an emergency insertion of the respiratory tract used to ensure an emergency approach to the patient's respiratory tract via Cricothyroid membrane, a small, soft indentation placed on the neck, just below the thyroid cartilage or Adam's apple. This procedure is usually performed only when attempts to intubation orotracheal and nasotracheal intubations have failed. Other signs for this are severe injuries to face or nose, midphacial trauma, anaphylaxis, injury to inhalation or cervical trauma of the spine.
In a sterile controlled environment, the materials used in cerroidotomy would include sterilization solution, mushrooms, scalpel blade and lidocaine, but if the patient needs airways in an uncontrolled environment, the supplies will be limited to what is at hand. A sharp tool such as a pocket knife, a razor blade, scissors or broken glass can be used to perform standby cerbottyroidotomy. To maintain the airways will be necessaryHollow tube. Examples of discovery similar to the NCY tube include, but are not limited to the barrel of the ball point, nail cutters, bending clip on paper or two keys with one side side.
The design of the cermotyroidotomy should only be carried out by trained medical staff. In an emergency situation, at least trained individuals can perform successful crricothyroidotomy. Medical care should be sought as quickly as possible when this happens.
The emergency procedure is initiated correctly by identifying the Cricothyroid membrane. The transverse cut is done directly through the Krikotothyroid membrane. After the skin is open and exposed, the sharp tool is pushed directly down the Kricothyroid membrane. After entering the trachea, a different "pop" will be heard. The hollow tube should then replace a sharp tool and the patient's airways should then be open.
If this procedure is performed in sterile and closesAn environment, the skin would first be sterilized and the skin would then be anesthetic. The cut would be made using a surgical blade, the clamps would hold open airways, insert the tracheotomic tube and the patient would be a ventilated unit of the valve of the bag. Emergency and sterile forms of this procedure are extremely different, but if they are done correctly, they can achieve the same results of their life.
crikothyroidotomy is also commonly referred to as crikotothotomy, thyrocricotomy, lower laryngotomy or intercricothyrotomy. If this procedure is successfully performed, it generally has few complications. However, the neck contains many nerves and blood vessels, and general knowledge of basic anatomy is required to prevent the patient to prevent.
