2023, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Although this procedure is known to be associated with complications, avoiding it results in high morbidity and mortality.5 Though performed less than 1% of the time and despite a decrease in training, success rates for cricothyroidotomy range from 89% to 100%.6–9 “Can’t oxygenate, Can’t Ventilate”—an adage used to describe a dangerous scenario where oral, nasopharyngeal demands emergent definitive airway management that requires cricothyroidotomy.

2020, Translational Research in AnatomyCitation Excerpt :A tension pneumothorax and pneumo-mediastinum are more prevalent with needle type cricothyroidotomy tools, such as the Seldinger method [16]. Fistula and granuloma formation were other reported complications [23], while many other complications such as laryngeal injury, aspiration, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, dysphonia secondary to thyroid cartilage fracture and considerable bleeding can occur [8,24]. The procedural failure or inability to secure the airway after completing the CCT is another significant real-life complication [9].
