TI  - The Formulation of Cognitive Aids and a Systematic Approach to Emergency 
      Front-of-Neck Access, Following a "Can't Intubate, Can't Oxygenate" Crisis in a 
      Patient With Ankylosing Spondylitis.

AB  - A patient with ankylosing spondylitis in a "can't intubate, can't oxygenate" 
      situation was rescued with cannula cricothyrotomy and transtracheal jet 
      oxygenation. The case revealed clinical and systematic weaknesses, leading to 
      standardization and reorganization of our equipment. Prepackaged cannula 
      cricothyrotomy sets were placed in standardized locations in the operating rooms 
      in line with our institution's "cannula first" policy. Cognitive aids specific to 
      emergency front-of-neck access (eFONA) were created and placed strategically with 
      the eFONA equipment to prompt and guide operators during airway emergencies. The 
      aids have also been incorporated into our training curriculum to encourage their 
      use.
