Flash Card

Here are previous versions of the Cricothyrotomy Flash Card, meant to be included in the kit as a rapid reminder of how to do the procedure with key steps boldfaced. The purpose is not only to help refresh for use in real clinical emergencies but also to use as a teaching aid and practice aid for drills.
