Real-world footage of combat medics performing an emergency cricothyrotomy on a blast victim in Mosul.

I was awoken to the sound of a woman crying. Turns out her child had been killed by a massive VBIED. Upon assessing the other injured, I discovered a patient that had severe blast injuries including two penetrating holes in the neck. Thanks to the quick reactions of Jon and Chris and their quick cric, the patient survived. Support me on Patreon patreon.com/MosulMedic

What people say. Recommended as an eye-opening look at emergency airway management under resource-limited combat conditions.

Airway management of a combat victim in a tertiary care center. A quite enlightening video to remind us of the abundance of resources we generally have access to.
