title: [A new cricothyreotomy set for emergencies].
abstract: Cardio respiratory emergencies in which intubation is by any reason not possible are rare. The traditional procedure of emergency tracheotomy can be complicated by tracheal esophageal perforation. There is now available a new emergency cricothyreotomy set "Nu-Trake" which is easy to handle even by the less experienced anaesthesiologist. As shown in our study the risk of tracheo esophageal perforation is very small with the new emergency coniotomy set. We believe the device should be part of the standard equipment of every emergency ambulance, after some improvements by the manufacturer.
