Abstract
A patient presented with neck impalement after a traffic accident. Respiratory arrest demanded immediate trachead intubation, which was impossible as a wooden splinter had partially obstructed the pharynx and prevented laryngoscopy. An oeso-phageal trachead Combitube airway was inserted successfully and the patient's lungs were ventilated adequately until tracheotomy was performed.
