Article Abstract
Emergency front-of-neck access refers to all techniques that deliver oxygen into the airway lumen through the anterior neck structures and encompasses access both through the cricothyroid membrane and the tracheal wall. There has yet to be a universal agreement regarding the preferred technique. A surgical incision is currently the most common approach in prehospital and in-hospital care. This review intends to review and summarize the existing clinical, basic science, and societal guidelines for eFONA.
