Abstract:
Numerous devices and technics have been devised to facillitate the difficult endotracheal intubation. We have modified the technic of employing a guide inserted retrograde through cannulation of the cricothyroid membrane. We easily used 16G ANGIOCATH for cannulation of the cricothyroid membrane and Angiography guide wire or swan Ganz Introducer wire for retrograde endotracheal intubation.
