Review Case Reports
Role of Ultrasound in Emergency Front of Neck Access: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Emergency front of neck access (eFONA) is a lifesaving procedure in a cannot intubate cannot oxygenate (CICO) situation. We report a case of a patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) in extremis with a difficult airway. ⋯ EFONA was established with the use of rapid ultrasound imaging and using the scalpel-bougie-tube technique. We present a review of literature relating to the use of ultrasound during emergency airway management.
