Nice! Love the video. We’ll be making a few of these training models tomorrow to get sorted out on this procedure.

Cheers Scott.

During the Lecture you mentioned a cheap way to practice cricothyrotomy can you post a quick video clip on how to do it.

Awesome stuff. I’ve put most of it back together in a little online course for our trainees. I’d love to hear what you guys think. http://www.thesharpend.org/eeacc-7-surgical-airways
