Some of you need to hear this…. Never ever “improvise” a cric. Just because you saw it in a movie doesn’t mean it should be done. Furthermore, this video is to refresh the memory of trained responders and give non-medical personnel an insight into what the procedure entails. That’s it. Full stop. Don’t do this unless your scope of practice, protocols, state law align to allow you to do this.

Never ever? my worst fear is going camping and someone with an obstructed airway and EMS is hours away... I know you cannot give *offical* medical advise, so theoretically speaking... I keep a scalpel and a pen in my mini first aid kit... I'm an EMT so this is outside my scope of practice, though if it was life or death for a family member I might resort to it... Hope I would not run into any legal issues in doing so, especially if things went south... Also, if something becomes this critical the pt will be passed out. After you perform the cric. will they begin drawing air by themself through the cric., or only sometimes? If they do not, and you do not have a BVM on hand, could you provide mouth-to-neck ventilation's for a family member as a absolute last resort as part of CPR until EMS got there? I'd rather have tried everything I could than just give up on someone and then always have wondered if I could have saved them. Especially family.

if things went south and you couldnt save the life i think itd be up to the court to decide whether you played a roll in the death, but there are also laws that are supposed to protect everyday citizens trying to help save lives, look up good samaritan laws and read them and maybe that will answer half of your questions, i am also an emt, definitely never ever do it on the job, thats for sure, but if its my family and im in a very bad situation with no ems, i would most definitely do everything i could out of scope to save them, just dont kill them when trying to help

You need to make instructional video how to use ball-point pen correctly. When the patient tries to do it herself, it is clear indication that this procedure is necessary. It looks to me that you have to aim towards lungs. In the movies they just jam it in perpendicular, and it surely gets blocked by the opposite wall of the windpipe.

As it’s an airway rescue procedure that’s performed when the patient is in a ‘can’t ventilate-can’t oxygenate’ situation failure to address the problem IR successfully accomplish this procedure would likely result in increasing hypoxia and ultimately brain injury and or the patients death. Oxygenation can fall rapidly but pulse oximeters used by medical professionals to monitor blood oxygenation levels become unreliable below 80% so the numbers you are quoting don’t really make a lot of sense to me but hey the important thing is that your Paramedic identified the problem and the solution and acted accordingly.

I'm a former combat medic, I served in Afghanistan. While on patrol, i conducted a surgical airway under heavy fire. Casualty was then placed in the back of a moving tank as the LZ was too hot. The rear door remained completely open due to the stretcher being too long for the rear to close. As such, the door broke and exposed me and the casualty to enemy fire. The airway worked extremely well but a suction device was definitely a must, just in terms of helping you initially clear the airway prior and after the surgical airway. The velcro strap that secures it to the patient's neck isn't great in all conditions.

Hi. I'm Hospitalist PA in Washington, D.C. I subscribed. What a WONDERFUL channel. You're a good teacher.👋🏾👨🏾‍⚕️

Great video. One point - the bougie typically does not stop ("hold up") at the carina, but typically it keeps going into the right mainstem bronchus and holdup happens in some large airway on the right. The carina is very close to the cricothyroid membrane -- so the bougie will go well beyond it, and you have to be careful about only putting in the ETT (if used rather than trach) only so the balloon barely disappears.

Having been a paramedic with a bit of experience, we had Nu Trake Kits in the airway bag, along with catheters to do peds cric's, Introducer guide wires to perform retrograde intubations when the anatomy is disfigured from trauma. In 8 years on the street I used the Nu Trake Kits 2X. Back then they were expensive. Needle crics work well a large bore IV catheter using them with small peds ETT uncuffed you take the bvm attachment off the ETT and then it fits right into a large bore iv catheter hub. Or as pointed out the drip chamber from an IV set up. The first time using a Nu Trake I hesitated a bit too much, and it was bloody mess. The 2nd time was better. But, lab work has changed over the years providing practice. The thing about skills is that they have to become a "thoughtless" reaction to a given circumstance. Because if the patient is not breathing well you are toasting their brain! If you ever want entertainment.....work in a large teaching hospital with residents and interns scratching their "SIX".... Especially around the time each school year starts! Not demeaning Flight Medics or Flight Nurses, but they are not God's. Yes, many have an expanded scope of practice as granted by their medical director. But, if you study patient treatment protocols there are some very aggressive protocols for ground and flight teams alike. And, there are some restrictive EMS systems, too. EMS is wonderful world.

The eyelet on the end of an ETT is called the Murphy Eye, named after a Dr Murphy who designed the ideal endotracheal tube. Islets of Langerhans are endocrine cells found in the pancreas. Thank you for the video, I feel a lot more prepared for my upcoming wet lab class!

Nice job. Was a RN/Medic on a helicopter for 28 years. Probably only did a dozen my whole career thank God. One thing I will add is make the cut big enough. My first few I was worried about making a nice tidy clean small incision. Makes your life far more complicated especially when you got someone with a large or fat neck or a huge amount of swelling. Think of the situation you are in. They will have plenty of time back at the trauma center to sew that neck up if the patient survives. OPEN that skin and tissue up so you can cut that membrane. I would "pop" the scalpel through the membrane. While the scalpel was still through the membrane I would insert my Kelly clamp in the hole and then take the scalpel out. I would use the Kelly's to open the membrane significantly. I would then slide my finger along the Kelly and into the hole. Don't take your finger out of the hole. I have used ETT before but even cut they are a pain in the arse to use and secure. I always found a #7 shiley trach worked the best. I never needed a bougie as the Shileys have an obturator that will allow you to slide the entire Shiley right in. Bury it and then pull the Ob out. Slap on your End tidal and bag and you should be good. The other part I loved about the Shiley is the head strap that comes with it. No matter how much blood, puke or bone you can always get that strap around their neck and velcro and clips hold awesome. Last tidbit I will add is I landed on a scene once where a crich was already performed and they were having a heck of a bagging the patient. What had happened was the person had such a fat neck that they lost the hole and put the tube into the subQ tissue and were trying to bag into the tissue. Its really easy to lose your way on the huge necks. I just opened the cut much bigger and then was able to find their original puncture which was good and feed the Shiley into it. Good luck and stay safe out there.

You said you inserted the bougie tip into the islets of langerhans.... The Pancreas? Guessing you mean the Murphy Eye? ;) Edit: Ooops should have read the comments lol

Unless you're a trained medical professional, please don't perform this procedure. Take a first aid course near you to learn how to save a life preferably. Have a nice day.

@@thomasb.581 not all of us have time for courses and yes, I would always want a professional, but in South Africa, we don't always have the luxury of that and criminals are all around. Sometimes we're just trying to stay out of trouble. Really sad Sometimes, the untrained have to help and courses are not easily accessible to all. Be safe and help those around you 🥰

Great video.Subscribed!

17:22 - I’m so glad that you clarified the Islets of Langerhans/Murphy’s Eye mixup in the description 😂 I’m a registered nurse (not trained to perform this procedure!) and was wondering what these fancy little pancreatic cells had to do with an ET tube 😂 I didn’t know the anatomy of an ET tube, but I knew that didn’t sound quite right! 😅

You are truly awesome.

Excellent visuals. Thx. Very much. I would pre^thread a trach tie on one side or actually preposition the tie under neck and reconnect afterwards. This is well done. Cant imagine how much blood would be involved. I once reviewed a video from John Hopkins years ago. About sterility of bedside tracheotomy. It was a great video. Thx.

Easy peasy I'm ready to go! Thanks for the education!

This procedure is only for medical professionals and people specifically trained in this procedure. A first aid lecture and first aid in general provides better ways to help someone who is not breathing, than to do something this invasive with a knife or a scalpel with which you could easily injure the patient additionally or kill him if not done correctly. Performing chest compressions or the Heimlich Maneuver can be a better idea depending on the scenario. I hope you'll have a nice day.

Thanks bud for the knowledge

Very well explained ❤✊

GREAT LESSON THANK YOU

Great video

Very clear and pro Thanks !

Thank you, bro!

this is fascinating

good vid. We learned blind digital intubation under fire...complete dark, bullets flying over head. It was intense.

I remember an episode on MASH where Radar was doing the 2nd version of this procedure (single cut side to side) under direction from Hawkeye via 2 way radio and Radar used a pocket knife for the incision and a pen tube to provide the airway.

I saw this!

Did my first one on a motorcycle wreck the other night. Definitely have some guaze ready as it's going to bleed some. I inserted the bougie prior to pulling out the blade and everything else went fine. It's definitely scarier to think about than when you do it. Good video though!❤

Works very well with my Dog, thank you KZread doctor 😊

im gunna go do one now! thanks for the tips.
