Performed by inserting a large bore catheter through the cricothyroid membrane (CTM) or annular ring at the mid-cervical trachea.

Use tracheal insufflations as a bridge to more definitive methods (e.g., OTI, CCT, TT).

Do not use this method for more than 30-45 minutes, as hypercapnia may develop, and lung barotrauma may occur due to high airway pressures.
