Abstract
A patient recently treated with surgery and radiation for oropharyngeal cancer presented with impending hypoxic respiratory and cardiac arrest in a difficult airway scenario. A CriCath cannula in combination with the Ventrain device and its active expiratory ventilation technology enabled oxygenation and ventilation for 60 minutes until a surgical airway was established. This case report is the first to describe the intended use of Ventrain technology in an emergent "can't ventilate-can't intubate" scenario.
