ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus and method for performing an emergency cricothyrotomy comprising a tracheostomy device which can be inserted into a patient's neck without danger of puncture of the posterior wall and which permits insertion of an airway tube without popping out of the device from the incision in the patient's neck or penetrating the posterior wall. An airway tube can be quickly and easily substituted for another airway tube of differing internal diameter without the need for redefining the puncture area or utilization of additional instrumentation. If desired, a closed system can be quickly and easily coupled to the device without the need for making a bigger opening in the patient's neck.
