Killian's diverticulum is formed in the Killian-Jamiseon triangle ( located inferior to the cricopharyngeus on both sides of this muscle's insertion into the cricoid cartilage ).
12.
Areas near the cricoid cartilage and carina are fixed to the thyroid cartilage and the pericardium respectively; thus if the airways move, they can tear at these points of fixation.
13.
The picture ( Respiratory system complete en . svg ) has three errors in the labelling : " Cricoid cartilage ", " Lingular division bronchus " and " Intermediate bronchus ".
14.
In roughly 1 out of every 100 & ndash; 200 people, the right inferior laryngeal nerve is nonrecurrent, branching off the vagus nerve around the level of the cricoid cartilage.
15.
The arytenoids articulate with the supero-lateral parts of the cricoid cartilage lamina, forming the cricoarytenoid joints at which they can move apart, tilt anteriorly or posteriorly, and rotate.
16.
Their " efferents " pass partly to the submandibular lymph nodes and partly to a gland of the deep cervical group situated on the internal jugular vein at the level of the cricoid cartilage.
17.
In Estill Voice training it is proposed that specific positioning of the cricoid cartilage is a typical part of the vocal set-up for shouting and other high-intensity voice productions employing higher subglottic pressure.
18.
Uncuffed tubes are also available, though their use is limited mostly to children ( in small children, the cricoid cartilage is the narrowest portion of the airway and usually provides an adequate seal for mechanical ventilation ).
19.
Another key feature of RSI is the application of manual'cricoid pressure'to the cricoid cartilage, often referred to as the " Sellick maneuver ", prior to instrumentation of the airway and intubation of the trachea.
20.
Uncuffed tubes are also available, though their use is limited mostly to pediatric patients ( in small children, the cricoid cartilage, the narrowest portion of the pediatric airway, often provides an adequate seal for mechanical ventilation ).
