LifeStat: Cricothyroidotomy On a KeyChain

Filed under: Emergency Medicine



Have you ever been on a street, in a building, and just wanted to intubate someone, but didn't have the right equipment? Well, no need to haul around a heavy airway kit anymore -- just take LifeStat -- now you can perform cricothyroidotomy with your keychain:

LifeStat is an emergency airway device for use in respiratory obstruction or failure. This innovative device facilitates a lifesaving method (cricothyroid notch) in emergencies when other efforts have failed. LifeStat is small and light enough to fit on your key ring, in your pocket, or in your emergency kit.

Aw, crikey -- this is going to be on every emergency medicine doc's wish list. It sells for $135 -- a good deal more expensive than the "pocket knife and drinking straw" approach.

Have no interest in it, :(
If there were MMO games related, it would be great.

The link appears to be broken --- and it's holiday shopping time and I actually know an ER doctor who would probably be pleased to get this. Are they still in business?
