Simulation of Adult Surgical Cricothyrotomy for Anesthesiology and Emergency Medicine Residents: Adapted for COVID-19

Abstract

We developed a surgical cricothyrotomy simulation workshop for anesthesiology and emergency medicine residents. Residents in the two specialities uniformly appreciated its format and content. We identified common pitfalls when executing the procedure and provided practical tips and material to facilitate implementation, in particular to face the COVID-19 pandemic.
