Improving the competence and confidence of pulmonary and critical care medicine fellows in performing a cricothyrotomy

Clinical opportunities to practice or perform a cricothyrotomy are limited. We developed an evidence-based cricothyrotomy course following the 4-phase lesson plan for simulation that provides pulmonary and critical care medicine fellows with demonstrations, practice, and feedback to increase their c...
