Episode Synopsis


A last-resort lifesaving procedure with high stakes, surgical cricothyrotomy is rarely performed—but always looms in the background of airway management. In this episode, we look at the evidence supporting cric in the field, discuss the training and policy debates around it, and reflect on what it means for EMS clinicians to carry such a heavy clinical responsibility.
