Needle in a haystack: utilising point-of-care airway ultrasound for localisation of retained blade fragments post-emergency cricothyroidotomy
Emergency cricothyroidotomy is a guideline-advocated, potentially life-saving procedure.[1] While its true incidence is unknown, retained foreign bodies post-airway procedures are a significant complication.[2] We describe the role of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for the airway in localising and...

| Summary: | Emergency cricothyroidotomy is a guideline-advocated, potentially life-saving procedure.[1] While its true incidence is unknown, retained foreign bodies post-airway procedures are a significant complication.[2] We describe the role of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for the airway in localising and aiding the retrieval of retained blade fragments post-emergency cricothyroidotomy. |
