Emergency procedure performed to gain access to the airway below a blockage?
I believe the procedure you are referring to is called tracheotomy - it involves making an opening below the blockage within the airway if the blockage cannot be easily or quickly removed, and allowing the afflicted to breathe through that opening instead, until emergency services arrive.This procedure, if in an emergency, can be performed at home, provided that care is taken not to harm the patient more as much as possible (ie. by not severing any arteries or nerves), and it would involve, for example, putting a hollowed-out pen below the person's throat, in order to secure an open passage of air to the person's lungs.Do keep in mind that emergency procedures should only be performed if there is no other choice, since a layperson can easily do more harm than good, and only in the face of immediate risk of loss of life. When in doubt, always try the less invasive and less risky procedures first, and then try to do the absolute minimum needed to keep the person alive until qualified assistance arrives.
