Abstract

Cricoid pressure is an extended maneuver during a rapid sequence induction at certain orotracheal intubations. However, few studies have compared its realization against not doing it. Therefore, there was a need to verify its usefulness or effectiveness. With the present study, which is analyzed with this text, it is not possible to demonstrate the non-inferiority of non-realization. So, a new challenge is achieved in the future: stop doing what we have learned. At least, it will probably be the generations of current residents who will leave as a past practice.
