Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Most authorities suggest elective conversion of an emergency cricothyroidotomy to a formal tra-cheostomy within 24 hours to reduce the likelihood of severe problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If ventilation is difficult after urgent replacement of a dislodged TT, it might not lie in the tra-chea and manual ventilation through the upper airway should be initiated without delay.
