Abstract
The applied anatomy of the cricothyroid and cricotracheal region of the neck and a retrograde method of tracheal intubation using the subcricoid region are described. This approach has several advantages, including absence of bleeding complications, as there are no major blood vessels on the cricotracheal membrane, and reduction in the possible development of subglottic oedema and stenosis.Entities:
