Retrograde, translaryngeal intubation of the pharynx, a previously unreported and potentially fatal complication of emergency cricothyrotomy, is described. Methods of avoiding this complication are discussed. Reports in the literature of related technical errors following successful surgical incision of the cricothyroid membrane are discussed.Mesh:
