Abstract: An emergent cricothyrotomy guide and cradle positioned on and affixed to a human neck to secure an endotracheal tube within the trachea during an emergency cricothyrotomy. The emergent cricothyrotomy guide and cradle comprises a horseshoe cradle, a strap fastener, and a split inner locking mechanism and may be packaged in an emergency medical kit with a blade knife, a bougie, and an endotracheal tube. The strap fastener is operable to be tied around the endotracheal tube received within the horseshoe cradle, securing the endotracheal tube within the trachea relative to the emergent cricothyrotomy guide and cradle until a permanent airway can be established.
