A nationwide survey on the safety of cricothyrotomy: a multicenter retrospective study in Japan.
Esophagus
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Cricothyrotomy is a procedure used to secure an airway in emergency situations and can also help patients expel sputum; however, its overall safety and effectiveness are still being evaluated.
- A nationwide survey in Japan involved data from 1,001 patients across 116 healthcare facilities between 2010 and 2021, highlighting that most cricothyrotomies (94.4%) were performed for sputum suctioning post-surgery, primarily after esophagectomy.
- Results indicated lower complication rates for sputum suctioning compared to emergency airway clearance, suggesting that cricothyrotomy is safer for patients recovering from esophagectomy, but additional research is necessary to confirm its benefits.
