At the end of the day if it saved someone's life then he's got my vote!! I can see why you are concerned though! All for people being able to perform first aid skills Emmz but I'm not sure I fancy the idea of a random cutting up my trachea without anaesthetic on the dubious basis it might save my life!!!  |

Thing is though CYS if someone is performing an emergency tracheostomy then there is no time for an anaesthetic - put it that way, its straight in or there's no point worrying about randomness!!!

Okay, in what circumstances would you do that as an emergency? If someone was choking?!  What's wrong with the Heimlich Manoeuvre?! |

Okay, in what circumstances would you do that as an emergency? If someone was choking?! What's wrong with the Heimlich Manoeuvre?! Well the emergency would have to be airway related and could be done if, say, the heimlich manouvre didn't work and there is a blockage of the upper airway. Its basically to maintain an adequate airway and allow air in, the basics of resuscitation is Airway, Breathing and Circulation, so you need an airway before you can do anything else. |

I see... thanks AC! You are welcome, obviously they perform them for other medical reasons but in an emergency it would be done, to maintain an airway and hopefully help save the life of the patient. Extreme circumstances I will admit, so if TC did it then thats pretty impressive! I practised on a sheep throat the other day in my 3 day life support course, wouldn't fancy doing it for real though  |

Respect to those who can keep us going though... Hmmm, sounds to me like a definition of "horror"  |
