Cricothyrotomy training modules

Overview

Fellowing an expressed clinical need and to better meet published guidelines, Université de Sherbrooke has developed a compregensive cricothyrotomy training program.

The program has two components. The first is a series of videos showcasing correct methods for performing each of three cricothyrotomy techniques. The second is a hands-on workshop using various models (including procine larynx and mannequins) to practice the protocoles under expert supervision.

This website provides access to the training videos for:

  • Two surgical cricothyrotomy techniques:
    • The open Scalpel-Bougie-Tube crico technique
    • The open classic surgical crico technique
  • One percutaneous needle technique :
    • The Seldinger closed percutaneous crico technique
