EMCrit 231 – How to Practice Cricothyroidotomy (Cric)

August 25, 2018 by Scott Weingart 3 Comments

Call it cric, call it surgical airway, call it FONA. Whatever you call it, you need to have the skills and mindset to make it happen at the ready every time you intubate. Every month make an appointment for yourself to practice cric (just like my buddy Sara Gray does).

First, you Need the Model

Head over here and print out a 3D model to have for the rest of your career

Next, Buy Some Gaffer Tape

Gaffer Tape By GafferPower

One roll will last a LONG time. And trust me, buy the gaffer power brand, some of the knockoff brands really suck.

Then Acquire Some 4x4s and Plastic Bags

I think you know where to find some…

Then, Watch the Video

Take a workshop to practice this. Anyone can do it. It was invaluable and empowering to have practiced this just weeks ago.
This was a statement recorded in @theairwayapp about a physician’s experience in cricothyrotomy. Practised on this model. Did it within weeks in *very* difficult anatomy.
