[A simple system for emergency coniotomy].
The successful clinical application of a new emergency cricothyrotomy device is reported. We used it first in a patient who was in acute respiratory insufficiency and could not be intubated because of a large tumour in the pharynx. Emphasis is placed on the description of the easy handling especially for less experienced physicians and of the atraumatic procedure.
