Additional Information for Cricothyrotomy Cannula
Cricothyrotomy cannula is a medical device used in emergency situations to establish an airway in patients who are unable to breathe. It is specifically designed for performing a cricothyrotomy procedure, which involves making an incision in the cricothyroid membrane (located between the cricoid and thyroid cartilages in the neck) to access the airway.
The cannula is a hollow tube that is inserted into the incision to maintain an open airway and allow for ventilation. It is typically made of medical-grade materials such as plastic or metal and comes in various sizes to accommodate different patient populations.
Cricothyrotomy cannulas are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." They are essential tools for emergency medical personnel, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals who may need to perform a cricothyrotomy in critical situations where traditional methods of airway management are not feasible or effective.
It is important to note that the use of cricothyrotomy cannulas requires specialized training and should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals in emergency situations.
