Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Time to complete needle cricothyrotomy
Secondary outcome
Soft tissue damage
Background summary
It is unclair which airway device is the fastest and safest in prehospital situations in the Netherlands. We would like to compare the Cricath device with the Quicktrach device. We would like to conduct a study to compare the time to complete a needle cricothyrotomy in the occluded aiway of porcine cadaver models performed by Dutch paramedics. The primary outcome is the time to complete needle cricothyrotomy. The second outcome is the tissue damage after performing the procedure by the two devices
Study objective
The hypothesis states that the time tom complete an emergency airway with Cricath device is significant faster than with Quicktrach device, which will be studied on porcine cadaver models. In the second outcome, the hypothesis states that there is less damage of the soft tissue surrounding the airway after using the cricath devices compared with the quicktrach device.
