C2CEFR level
92/100Rarity: very rare
TechnicalRegister
An airway emergency in which both tracheal intubation and effective oxygenation fail, mandating emergency front-of-neck access.
When mask ventilation and the supraglottic device both failed, we declared a can't intubate, can't oxygenate situation and prepared for a surgical airway.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
