thyrotomy. Cummings Otolaryngology denes a cricothyrotomy as “the establishment of a surgi­cal opening into the airway through the crico­thyroid membrane (CTM) and placement of a tube for ventilation” [19]. The importance of understanding the diagnosis and management of a difcult airway and emergent treatment is crit­ical to the practicing surgeon, as operative catastrophes related to inadequate airway and ventilation have continuously been found to be some of the leading causes of serious and life­threatening intraoperative and perioperative complications [1, 20, 21].
25.3.2.2 Clinical/Diagnosis
ASA practice guidelines acknowledge the varia­tion of denitions of “difcult airway” in the lit­erature and dene this term as “the clinical situation in which a conventionally trained anes­thesiologist experiences difculty with facemask ventilation of the upper airway, difculty with tracheal intubation, or both.” They provide a description of a “failed intubation” as “place­ment of the endotracheal tube fails after multiple attempts.” Similarly, one could think of a “failed airway” as the failure to achieve a controlled air­way after multiple attempts by an airway expert (or an experienced anesthesiologist). Failed air­way, resulting from an inability to intubate and ventilate, has been estimated to occur in the range of 0.01–2 per 10,000 patients with difcult endotracheal intubation ranging between 5 and 35 per 10,000 patients and difcult mask ventila­tion at an incidence of about 5% [19]. A failed airway can quickly lead to anoxic brain injury and death. The surgeon and operating room team are encouraged to be prepared to quickly and accurately diagnose and address this situation and provide a mechanism for adequate ventila­tion and oxygenation when less invasive tech­niques have failed. A key piece of information in the management of a failed airway is whether the patient is able to receive adequate ventilation (such as bag-mask ventilation) while further decisions are being made (ranging from awaken­ing the patient to considering alternative approaches to securing the airway). Below, we
will describe and illustrate the necessary steps for management of a failed airway including cre­ating a surgical airway via a cricothyrotomy while understanding that other invasive tech­niques may also be considered by the team (e.g., needle cricothyroidotomy).
25.3.2.3 Treatment
In a failed airway scenario, immediately calling for help, designating a crisis manager/leader, and requesting a difcult airway cart and video laryn­goscope are all essential steps. If ventilation is inadequate and an experienced anesthesiologist has failed to achieve a controlled airway after multiple attempts, the surgeon should communi­cate with the team and prepare for the possibility that a surgical airway will be urgently needed. While the anesthesiologist continues to attempt to optimize ventilation, possibly through place­ment of a laryngeal mask airway, alternative supraglottic devices, or other approaches, the sur­geon should begin to consider what is available to prep the neck (such as the prep solution available for the surgical case) and how to obtain supplies needed for an urgent surgical airway. Cummings describes a modied “rapid ve-step technique” which is “simple to learn and faster in obtaining a surgical airway.” This technique is comprised of (1) Identifying landmarks and stabilizing the air­way, (2) making a vertical skin incision, (3) mak­ing a horizontal incision through the cricothyroid membrane, (4) inserting a clamp to spread and elevate the airway, and (5) inserting a tracheos­tomy tube or small endotracheal tube. The Manual of Emergency Airway Management pro­vides detailed illustrations of the technique used for an emergency cricothyrotomy (Figs. 25.1,
25.2, 25.3, 25.4, 25.5, 25.6, 25.7) [22]. (Used
with permission from Walls RM, Murphy MF, editors. Manual of emergency airway manage­ment; Fourth Edition. Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2013).
While ventilation status may change over the course of treatment, which alters the acuity of the situation, a surgeon who communicates well and is prepared for the possibility of a surgical airway can be a life-saving member of this critical scenario.

25.3.3.1 Hypotension andHypoxemia
Introduction
Hypotension and hypoxemia present a particu­larly difcult situation for operating room teams due to their broad differential and subse­quent difculty for accurate and efcient diag­nosis and treatment. In these situations, clinical judgment relative to the patient’s history, phys-

ical exam ndings, anesthetics given, and oper­ating room course is key to adequate assessment and optimal treatment. When faced with situa­tions where the diagnosis is unclear, especially when multiple abnormalities in signs and symptoms are observed, it is important to understand the abnormality representing the primary problem as this will prevent unneces­sary or invasive procedures that can cause harm to the patient or delay of appropriate treatment. Within the incident reports for 4000 cases of the Australian Incident Monitoring Study (AIMS), 438 reports included the words “hypo­tension,” “cardiovascular collapse,” or “cardiac arrest” (~11%), and 706 contained the word “desaturation” (~18%) [23, 24]. In both hypo­tension and hypoxemia, there were multiple potential causes for the observed abnormality, with other associated signs and symptoms. The use of a structured algorithm was considered to have resulted in a better and/or more prompt resolution in 6% of hypotension cases and 15% of hypoxemic cases. It is known that both of these operative catastrophes have the potential to result in irreversible damage to organs lead­ing to a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Thus, this time-critical need for efcient and

effective treatment highlights the importance for the surgeon to have a structured set of key steps to guide the differential diagnosis and treatment management considerations inherent to unclear/sustained hypotension/hypoxemia.
Clinical/Diagnosis andTreatment
Due to the broad differential for these common scenarios, we present this section in the format of crisis checklists that have been adopted by aninstitution. Figures 25.8 and 25.9 are examples

25.3.4 Other Emergencies
As noted above, the goal of this chapter was to familiarize the surgeon with some common oper­ative catastrophes that every surgeon should know. However, we hope that this chapter also encourages the reader to obtain familiarity with other operative emergencies that simply could not be covered due to the space constraints. Hemorrhage, for example, is an operating room emergency that crosses many different disci­plines (surgery, obstetrics, anesthesia, nursing, hematology, and potentially trauma, vascular, interventional radiology, and other specialties) and is often presented with dedicated chapters in and of themselves. For this specic emergency, we provide Fig.25.10, which is an example of the hemorrhage emergency manual entry from

tive catastrophes that they are likely to encounter over the course of their practice. The practice pat­terns of the surgeon and institution are relevant considerations (i.e., certain catastrophes may be more common for the orthopedic surgeon, otolar­yngologist, gynecological surgeon, pediatric sur­geon, and others).
25.4 Current Controversies/ Future Directions
At present, there are no guidelines mandating crisis checklists or emergency manuals be avail­able or used during patient care [26]. This point is amplied by existing cultural perceptions which attribute the use of cognitive aids to less clinical competence and overall skills by health­care providers. A survey done at the University of California, San Francisco, found that one

potential reason for providers to not use check­lists was the “perception of them being less skilled because they needed to use a ‘cheat sheet.’” Survey results showed 17% of providers felt uncomfortable using a checklist in front of their team members and only 45% of providers feeling comfortable [27]. Additionally, those reporting uncomfortable feelings were more likely to have fewer years of experience. Addressing these issues necessitates cultural shifts and implementation from leaders within the eld to foster a culture that embraces the use of checklists and emergency manuals. To this end the Emergency Manuals Implementation Collaborative (EMIC) was formed to encourage the use of manuals and address barriers to imple­mentation and dissemination by providing free access to multiple versions of emergency aids at
www.emergencymanuals.org. Ultimately, these
tools must be readily available to be used in cri-

sis situations and implementation is a key step in ensuring availability and appropriate use. This requires both an awareness of availability and training with the use of crisis checklist and emer­gency manuals [28].
An additional point of controversy in the use of crisis checklists/emergency manuals suggests that the doctors’ use of a cognitive aid may cause providers to become reliant on these cognitive aids, to the point where clinical judgment is no longer used and xation on one particular course of action can lead to a lack of exibility and delay in appropriate care [29]. As we have stated throughout this chapter, all clinical signs and symptoms associated with the operative catastro­phe must be interpreted in the context of patient history, physical exam, and current patient pre­sentation, such that clinical judgment continues to be a primary driver of ultimate decision­making. In this setting, cognitive aids are imple­mented as an additional tool in the surgeon’s armory, utilized in situations where high stress or high stakes may limit memory and recall of key steps and negatively impact team dynamics.
As with anything else in medicine, there is no “one solution ts all” approach. The recommen­dations presented in this chapter must be taken in context with the culture and resources of indi­vidual institutions and adapted for best use, prior to the occurrence of such events. Surgeons play a unique role in coordinating and executing care for patients in the operating room, as they are tasked with the responsibility of not only the knowledge, clinical expertise, and technical skills to treat patients but must also serve a leadership role in managing and maintaining successful team dynamics, incorporating effective commu­nication skills, assigning appropriate task man­agement, maintaining situational awareness, and ensuring successful team decision-making [30].
Take-Home Points
• Operative catastrophes are rare events that require time-sensitive diagnostic and management decisions to be recalled by even the most experienced
I. Franco et al.
clinicians under highly stressful conditions.
Under stressful circumstances that come
• from rare life-threatening events, failure to adhere to best practices can be com­mon when relying on memory alone. In these cases, cognitive aids can serve as an additional tool in the surgeon’s armory, utilized in situations where high stress or high stakes may limit memory and recall of key steps and negatively impact team dynamics.
Clinical judgment relative to the
patient’s history, physical exam nd­ings, anesthetics given, and operating room course is key to adequate assess­ment and optimal treatment.
• In any operative catastrophe, the rst steps should include calling for help, designating a crisis leader/checklist reader, and requesting additional resources needed.
• Crisis checklists and emergency manu­als should be adapted to reect the most up-to-date guidelines available and con­sistently be evaluated for effectiveness of content, design, and implementation, ensuring that these tools meet the needs of the institution and practicing providers.
As such, we present the topics in this chapter to equip the surgeon with evidence-based guide­lines and tools to successfully address operative catastrophes and feel prepared to lead teams in these high-stress and high-stakes situations.
