Transition from Supraglottic to Infraglottic Rescue in the “Can’t Intubate Can’t Oxygenate” (CICO) Scenario: Report from the ANZCA Airway Management Working Group
by
This report was written as part of the development process by the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) for difficult airway management. The content of this review relates to the prevention, identification and management of decision to proceed to emergency surgical airway in the critical event of being unable to ventilate or oxygenate a patient having induced general anaesthesia. This is referred to as the “can’t intubate, can’t oxygenate” (CICO) scenario. This report forms the basis for ANZCA professional document PS61 and its accompanying background paper (PS61-BP).
