Pt RTA with multiple facial laceration O2 sat 80%, best airway
A- Orotracheal tube
B- Nasotracheal tube
C- Surgical tracheostomy
D- Cricothyrotomy

Abdulrahman: The answer is D. The best way to support the airway is always Orotracheal. After that, cricothyrotomy. Nasotracheal is not ideal in an emergency setting. In our case, there is facial or C-spine injury, so don’t do orotracheal, go for cricothyrotomy.
