PY - 2018 T2 - The PICU Handbook AB - This procedure involves the creation of a communication between airway and skin via the cricothyroid membrane. An over-the-needle catheter is then passed through the membrane. This procedure provides a temporary secure airway to oxygenate and ventilate a patient in severe respiratory distress when less invasive measures have failed or are unlikely to be successful.
