March 2006:  Surgical Cricothyrotomys
	This procedure allows us to make an incision in a patient's throat so an airway can be inserted.
It is only done when no other means of airway control can be established and only as a last resort.
	Since the pig tracheas are the closest anatomically to a human, those are used in the training process.
