Nutbeam et al. stated that ‘broadly speaking, there are four modes of managing the airway: facemask; supraglottic airway device; tracheal tube and direct access to the trachea’ , reflecting the latest guidelines from the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Difficult Airway Society . Although anatomically correct, we suggest that a fifth way of oxygenating the patient should not be forgotten by anaesthetists and guideline writers.Sheridan et al. first described an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technique in a paediatric patient with a difficult airway in 2008, which was used after the currently recognised four modes of airway management failed . Holliday and Jackson reported similar, successful use in an emergency airway obstruction management in 2010 , as did Willms et al. in 2012, in a case of total distal tracheal stent obstruction by tumour mass .ReferencesNutbeam T, Clarke R, Luff T, Enki D, Gay D.
