    AbstractAs part of a training programme for younger doctors, two commercially available, emergency cricothyroidotomy sets were evaluated. Prior to the surgical procedure, half of the doctors in each group received an audiovisual lesson. In a simulated but realistic emergency situation, involving autopsy material, cricothyroidotomy was performed utilizing either the "Nutrake" or the "Gentofte" system. The audiovisual lesson increased the speed and the success rate of the doctors performing this procedure as well as strengthening their confidence. Both systems allowed positive pressure ventilation. The participating doctors achieved a higher success rate at a faster speed with the "Nutrake" set.
