In 2021, there were nearly 150,000 reported cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with over 90% leading to death. Current methods of establishing airways in response to cardiac arrest require a high level of expertise, and improper use can result in serious side-effects and death. This poses a need for a safer Emergency Airway Device (EAD). Our solution is based on everting vine robots, which are pressurized tubes that passively navigate via tip extension. A dual-deployment configuration of sealing cuffs and breathing channels allows for resuscitation in the case of both esophageal and tracheal deployment. This paper summarizes the development efforts and performance characteristics of two previous designs of the EAD before introducing a new prototype that is enabled by novel manufacturing techniques. Through iterative development and testing with anatomically accurate airway phantoms, performance of each of the following metrics are shown to be in acceptable ranges for clinical viability: everting pressure (111 cm H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O), everting forces (0.25 N), airway sealing ratio (1.3), burst pressure safety factor (2.9), and deployment success rate (100%). The proposed Everting Airway Device concept shows promise for future refinement and integration with automated deployment mechanisms and breath delivery systems. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s2424905x25400033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,29]],"date-time":"2024-11-29T15:34:53Z","timestamp":1732894493000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Design Evolution of an Everting Emergency Airway Device"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9552-9297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Lewis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington, 3900 E Stevens Way NE, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2495-3247","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joel","family":"Hwee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sciton Inc., 925 Commercial Street, Palo Alto, CA 94303, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-7663-9320","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grace","family":"O\u2019Connor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MacDonald-Miller, 17930 International Blvd, SeaTac, Washington 98188, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6519-8458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alex","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research in Education and Simulation Technologies (CREST), University of Washington School of Medicine, 1959 NE Pacific St. Seattle, WA 98195 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5256-3560","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel M.","family":"Burke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research in Education and Simulation Technologies (CREST), University of Washington School of Medicine, 1959 NE Pacific St. Seattle, WA 98195 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5308-527X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Randall A.","family":"Bly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otolaryngology, University of Washington School of Medicine, 1959 NE Pacific Street, Seattle, WA 98195, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6045-7756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kris S.","family":"Moe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otolaryngology, University of Washington School of Medicine, 1959 NE Pacific Street, Seattle, WA 98195, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2489-0514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Waleed M.","family":"Abuzeid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otolaryngology, University of Washington School of Medicine, 1959 NE Pacific Street, Seattle, WA 98195, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3382-6541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric","family":"Seibel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington, 3900 E Stevens Way NE, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7370-4920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blake","family":"Hannaford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Washington, 185 Stevens Way, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000001123"},{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0000000000001866"},{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5772\/intechopen.74160"},{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2044.2002.02329.x"},{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ISMR48346.2021.9661552"},{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ISMR63436.2024.10585972"},{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/scirobotics.aan3028"},{"key":"S2424905X25400033BIB011","volume-title":"EMS Field Intubation","author":"Gnugnoli D.
