“…Overall, the majority of cricothyroidotomies were performed by road-based ICPs (66.7%) with the remaining performed by the aeromedical ICPs (Table 2). All cricothyroidotomy indications were categorized as either being a part of the failed intubation algorithm or performed as the primary airway management intervention (Table 3 4 , [10][11][12][13] ).…”

“…8 Kyle et al performed a study into the success of airway insertion over an eight-year period in Afghanistan and found that despite the relative inexperience of the operators an overall success rate of 92% was achieved. 10 SC is considered a last resort procedure in a difficult airway algorithm; however, it has been suggested that in certain situations it may be counterproductive to delay a surgical airway intervention; in such circumstances, SC may be the best 'first resort' in definitive airway management. 11 Mabry et al describe a novel approach in which awake SC is performed first and discuss three cases of 'inevitable surgical airway', which they define as, an airway which due to being altered by severe trauma or other anatomical disruption requires advanced management.…”

“…Although the requirement for a CTT in the prehospital, battlefield setting is relatively rare in people, it can be an immediately life-saving intervention ( 13 – 15 ). The procedure has a high success rate ( 13 , 14 , 16 ) and has outcomes equivalent to other methods of airway management in the prehospital setting ( 15 ).…”
