Abstract
A self-adjusting transcricothyroid catheter comprises a catheter attached near its proximal end to a fastener plate. The attachment means permits rotation/translation of the catheter relative to the fastener plate, rendering the catheter self-adjusting to movement of the neck. The fastener plate is adapted for topical placement adjacent the site of cricothyroid puncture and is held in place by attached strap means which encircle the neck and which optionally form a part of a cervical immobilization device. The minimized length of the catheter minimizes or eliminates kinking and/or knotting of the catheter during its insertion, and the ability of the catheter to self-adjust to movement minimizes trauma and bleeding during use.
