Hosted by Intensive Care Consultant and co-founder of the National Tracheostomy Safety Project, Dr Lucy Bates and Sector Clinical Lead for East of England Ambulance Service, Emily Le-Gallienne, this podcast outlines the key updates to the Emergency Tracheostomy and Laryngectomy guideline.

Together they discuss the changes and why they have been made, including the differences between a tracheostomy and a laryngectomy, removing/replacing the tube, the new algorithms, and that in essence it is standard airway management. They especially emphasise that doing something is always better than doing nothing.
