The trauma of the larynx and trachea must be managed to secure the airway since they have a high fatality rate. A delayed airway compromise is possible. In the trauma of the larynx and trachea, the recommended airway is the tracheostomy.
To understand the specific anatomical differences between tracheotomy (incision of the trachea) and laryngectomy (removal of the larynx), it is of particular importance to first visualise and correctly understand the airways of a healthy person.
Because the typical landmarks for tracheotomy may be difficult to identify because of the small size of the larynx and cricoid, tracheotomy in the emergent setting is best done with a secured airway, either by intubation or rigid bronchoscopy. A vertical incision is made over the midline of the neck, its superior extent at the cricoid cartilage.
