Abstract
Percutaneous tracheotomy (TP) is a standard procedure for airway establishment in selected indications. It is not considered a standard technique for the management of emergency airway situations despite more and more reports high-lighting its use in this setting. In this chapter, we compare TP with other emergency airway access techniques and describe a new approach to manage patients with major airway obstruction leading to "no ventilation, no intubation" situations Under general anaesthesia.
