      Literature.

AB  - Emergency front of neck access (eFONA) is a lifesaving procedure in a cannot 
      intubate cannot oxygenate (CICO) situation. We report a case of a patient who 
      presented to the emergency department (ED) in extremis with a difficult airway. A 
      history of multiple neck surgeries and permanent tracheostomy from birth until 
      the age of 17 years complicated his airway management. Altered neck anatomy led 
      to failed intubation and oxygenation. EFONA was established with the use of rapid 
      ultrasound imaging and using the scalpel-bougie-tube technique. We present a 
      review of literature relating to the use of ultrasound during emergency airway 
      management.
