An established Danish\u2013Zimbabwean collaboration of otorhinolaryngologists enrolled Zimbabwean doctors into a video-guided simulation training programme on emergency cricothyroidotomy. This paper presents the positive effect of this training, illustrated by two case reports.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215116008719_sec_a2\"><jats:title>Case reports:<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 56-year-old female presented with upper airway obstruction due to a rapidly progressing infectious swelling of the head and neck progressing to cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated and a secure surgical airway was established via an emergency cricothyroidotomy, saving the patient. A 70-year-old male presented with upper airway obstruction secondary to intubation for an elective procedure. When extubated, the patient exhibited severe stridor followed by respiratory arrest. Re-intubation attempts were unsuccessful and emergency cricothyroidotomy was performed to secure the airway, preserving the life of the patient.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215116008719_sec_a3\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Emergency cricothyroidotomy training should be considered for all surgeons, anaesthetists and, eventually, emergency and recovery room personnel in developing countries. A video-guided simulation training programme on emergency cricothyroidotomy in Zimbabwe proved its value in this regard.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215116008719","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,9]],"date-time":"2016-09-09T07:09:08Z","timestamp":1473404948000},"page":"923-927","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The introduction of emergency cricothyroidotomy simulation training in Zimbabwe contributed to the saving of two lives"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"130","author":[{"given":"M B","family":"Avnstorp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P V F","family":"Jensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Dzongodza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N","family":"Matinhira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Chidziva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Melchiors","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Von Buchwald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215116008719_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.thorsurg.2015.04.002"},{"key":"S0022215116008719_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12098-015-1811-6"},{"key":"S0022215116008719_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bja\/aer059"},{"key":"S0022215116008719_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAF.0b013e31817efb24"},{"key":"S0022215116008719_ref1","unstructured":"Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency.
