What's Wrong with the Scalpel Finger Bougie Technique and How a Kit Can Make It Better.

We got rid of the old cricothyroidotomy kits for eFONA for a reason. They were full of things we didn't need, slowed us down, and made things more confusing. So we ditched the kit in favor of the scalpel finger bougie technique, but what if by getting rid of the kit we inadvertently got rid of some good things as well? What if we could bring the kit back but designed it for how we perform FONA now. Let's talk about it and show you what makes sense.
