"Don't panic, we're about to perform a cricothyroidotomy. You'll do it," Liu Banxia said soothingly after rushing over.
He had never expected the patient to exhibit a new symptom. It was fortunate this all happened in the emergency center. Otherwise, the patient might have suffocated elsewhere.
Liu Yiqing had probably been attempting intubation, a non-invasive procedure, and an intubation kit lay open nearby. Clearly, non-invasive methods were useless when an airway was fully obstructed.
Perhaps it was Liu Banxia's presence that helped calm the recently flustered Liu Yiqing.
He carefully made an incision in the skin, then the cricothyroid membrane, swiftly expanded the incision with curved vascular forceps, inserted a tracheal tube, and removed the inner cannula.
As the inner cannula was removed, the patient's expression improved, and his lungs could fully expand and breathe normally.
