Replacing Cricothyroid Tape and Neck Skin
After creating an emergency airway through the cricothyroid
membrane, replace the perforated tape before starting a new
simulation session.
1. Remove neck skin.
2. Remove damaged or perforated tape.
3. Select a new section of cricothyroid tape.
4. Replace with new tape ensuring it completely covers and
seals the opening to prevent leakage during ventilation.
5. Replace neck skin.
Note
If the used neck skin is in good condition, move the skin along to
position a new section over the cricothyroid tape.
