“Dear Michael,
You have indirectly contributed to saving the life of one of my patients tonight – here
in Africa. It is because you taught me the TTIP technique.
We were in a terrible cannot intubate – cannot ventilate situation with a man who
needed an urgent laparotomy. He was shot down in front of his house while his wife
and children were watching. Our challenge is that we can only give 5 liters of oxygen
per minute, and we have no nasal airway. This man was 100 kg (=220lbs), with a
short neck and a big belly.

124. Take home messages
• Airway management does not have to be expensive to be effective
• Remember the TTIP technique (placed orally or nasally) as a potential
maneuver when encountering difficult/impossible ventilation
✓Simple
✓Single-handed
✓Minimal equipment required
Adventageous especially in austere

Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy Airway
Decontamination
“An incremental step-wise approach to the
management of a massively contaminated
airway”
Resuscitation Plus
(2020): 100005.
150. Pathophysiology of Airway Contamination
Negates ventilation by mask or
supraglottic airway
Neutralizes apneic oxygenation
Negates all forms of endoscopy
151. SALAD manages airway contaminants while assisting the
rescuer in placing basic and advanced airways.
It proactively addresses the contaminated airway
while assisting insertion of airway adjuncts
157. 1. Opening jaw and compressing
tongue into floor of mouth—
while suctioning
Replaces the “Scissor Technique”
with a rigid tongue depressor
158. 2. Manipulation of tongue and pharyngeal tissues to maximize
the view and placement of a laryngoscope
159. 3. Provides continuous decontamination of the hypopharynx
during laryngoscopy

Emergency CICO Situations
Transtracheal jet ventilation in the ‘can’t intubate can’t
oxygenate’ emergency: a systematic review.
L.V. Duggan, et al.

Device failure

emergency
CICO cases
51% rate of
complications
in emergency
vs. 8% in
elective
anesthesia
Barotrauma in 32% of emergency cases
205. • “Failed Airway” phrase stigmatizes procedure
• The surgical airway—a small neck incision—
should be viewed in larger context of patient
care issues
• “To save a life..sometimes you need a knife!”
• Attempt to oxygenate during procedure; 100
seconds to ventilation—must begin before
the patient is dead
Surgical Airway ≠ “Failed Airway”
Surgical Airway ≠ Rescue Airway
206. • Fluids are the enemy of everything
• High-volume fluids (blood, vomitus) can prevent
every means of visualization and oxygenation
• High-volume fluids make every means of
intubation—except cric—very challenging
• Distorted midface and upper airway may preclude
use of HFNC, mask, & SGA (supraglottic airway)
Surgical Airway NOW!
Dynamically Deteriorating with
Distorted Anatomy and Fluids
207. Common Misperceptions and
Errors with Surgical Cric
• Lack of anatomic insight creates fear about
using a scalpel—either cutting too deeply, or
too far laterally
• Operators are hesitant to start the procedure
if they haven’t identified the cricothyroid
membrane (misbelieving this is the 1st step)
• Misperception of surgical skill needed to do
the procedure causes delay in starting, and
makes many operators “more comfortable”
using a percutaneous technique
208. Operator Mindset
5 Mantras of a Surgical Cric
• “To save a life, I need to use a knife”
• “The laryngeal handshake will find midline”
• “I will find the CTM—after—the vertical,
midline skin incision”
• “I am not a surgeon, but I can stabilize my
hand on the patients sternum.”
• “The cartilaginous cage will protect.”
209. The Surgically Inevitable Airway
Distorted anatomy, high volume fluids, unable
to secure tracheal tube to midface
BVM, SGA, HFNC cannot work

219. Localizing CTM with fingertip
often fails, and delays start
Fingertip palpation is a
fine motor skill in
setting where most
operators will have
elevated heart rates
CTM identification is difficult
through skin and adipose
If operator cannot
locate CTM, they
are mentally

scalpel, like holding a pencil
• Base of scalpel hand rests on patient’s sternum
throughout the entire procedure—making both
vertical skin and horizontal CTM incisions

228. • Always insert finger tip in the hole after CTM
incision
• Verifies entrance into airway
• Verifies size of hole is adequate for tube
• Some advocate bougie insertion alongside finger;
It’s OK to use bougie, but never omit finger tip
insertion to verify hole size
• Most common mistake in open cric procedure is too
small a hole, then passing a bougie or tube into
subcutaneous location (same error common with
chest tubes)

www.airwaymanagement.dk
Addition of trans-cricothyroid infrared flashing light…..:
resulted in:
Unequivocal, and
easier, identification of the pathway to the trachea at significantly
more proximal level within the airway.
…..this addition was highly beneficial for the entire airway
management procedure.
