Abstract
Timely cricothyrotomy may be life-saving, but it is not without its co mplications. Together with tracheostomy performed too high, there are high incidences of stenosis and voice changes afterwards often neglect ed because the patient has so many other problems. Jackson warned of t hese problems over 70 years ago - his message is still relevant.
