The cricoid cartilage broke apart and within seconds the man was dead.

As all techniques, cricoid pressure has indications, contraindications and side effects.

Beginning around 2000, a significant body of evidence has accumulated which questions the effectiveness of cricoid pressure.

However, other investigators have found that cricoid pressure does not increase the rate of failed intubation.

However, recent research increasingly suggests that cricoid pressure may not be as advantageous as once thought.

He used a lot of abstruse terms like "cricoid" but what it amounted to was that she had been strangled.

The first cricoid ring is directly opposite C6.

Cricoid pressure may frequently be applied incorrectly.

The technique involves the application of pressure to the cricoid cartilage of the neck.

Used his elbows just under the Chinese's chin, digging for the windpipe and the cricoid cartilage.

Cricoid pressure has been widely used during rapid sequence induction for nearly fifty years, despite a lack of compelling evidence to support this practice.

'The coroner's report indicates a double fracture of the cricoid cartilage.

A cricoidectomy is the surgical excision of the cricoid cartilage.

The cartilages are attached to the cricoid cartilage and connected with the vocal cords.

McCoy felt for the cricoid cartilage, measured down a knuckle-and-a-half, and tried to start his incision.

"You would have had a very amateur tracheotomy: that knife grazed right past the cricoid cartilage.

A medical procedure known as a cricoidectomy can be performed in which part or all of the cricoid cartilage is removed.

He tried to drive the open steel stock into the arched throat in order to crush the larynx and the cricoid cartilage at once.

To perform a tracheotomy, you'd find the dent just below the Adam's apple, but just above the cricoid cartilage.

The cricoid cartilage is from C6 to C7.

It connects together the front parts of the contiguous margins of the thyroid and cricoid cartilages.

Anterior cricoid pressure was considered the standard of care during Rapid Sequence Intubation for many years.

Cricoid force greater than 40 N can compromise airway patency and make tracheal intubation difficult.

The cricoid cartilage had ruptured.

This ligament's main purpose is to keep the cricoid and thyroid from traveling too far.

This procedure attempts to raise vocal pitch by surgically modifying the cricoid and thyroid cartilage structures.

The lateral plate mesoderm consists of the laryngeal cartilages (arytenoid and cricoid).

The Inferior pharyngeal constrictor, the thickest of the three constrictors, arises from the sides of the cricoid and thyroid cartilage.

In modern amphibians, the laryngeal skeleton is considerably reduced; frogs have only the cricoid and arytenoid cartilages, while salamanders possess only the arytenoids.

The laryngeal skeleton consists of nine cartilages: three single (epiglottic, thyroid and cricoid) and three paired (arytenoid, corniculate, and cuneiform).

In June 2012 Dr. Macchiarini transplanted a syntetic trachea and cricoid (a part of the larynx) in two patients at Krasnodar University in Russia.

On the posterior side, the gland is fixed to the cricoid and tracheal cartilage and cricopharyngeus muscle by a thickening of the fascia to form the posterior suspensory ligament of Berry.

The Oakland Raiders' Jeff Hostetler has a compression fracture of the cricoid - the protective cartilage of the windpipe just below the voice box - and will miss Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

It attaches to the anterolateral aspect of the cricoid and the inferior cornu and lower lamina of the thyroid cartilage, and its action tilts the thyroid forward to help tense the vocal cords.

The cricoid is joined to the first tracheal ring by the cricotracheal ligament, and this can be felt as a more yielding area between the firm thyroid cartilage and firmer cricoid.

Jorgenson quickly felt out the landmarks of Kathleen's voice box- beginning with her thyroid cartilage, or Adam's apple, moving below it to the semicircular shape of the cricoid, another cartilage piece, and beneath that to the top ring of the trachea.

The median cricothyroid ligament is a flat band of white tissue joining the cricoid and thyroid cartilages, while the lateral cricothyroid ligament is also known as the cricothyroid membrane (also called conus elasticus).

It is also anatomically related to the thyroid gland; although the thyroid isthmus is inferior to it, the two lobes of the thyroid extend superiorly on each side of the cricoid as far as the thyroid cartilage above it.

The posterior part of the cricoid is slightly broader than the anterior and lateral parts, and is called the lamina, while the anterior part is the band; this may be the reason for the common comparison made between the cricoid and a signet ring.
