Since 1990, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved surgical cricothyrotomy, emergency medical services (EMS) providers have used this life-saving procedure to ventilation in patients with an airway obstruction. In 2001, the FDA approved the Teleflex QuickTrach Emergency Cricothyrotomy Kit, the first cricothyrotomy kit designed for use by prehospital providers. The Teleflex QuickTrach Emergency Cricothyrotomy Kit allows EMS providers to perform a surgical cricothyrotomy in an emergency situation when other means of airway access are not available.
