    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricothyrotomy

    The procedure was first described in 1805 by Félix Vicq-d'Azyr, a French surgeon and anatomist. [3] A cricothyrotomy is generally performed by making a vertical incision on the skin of the throat just below the laryngeal prominence (Adam's apple), then making a horizontal incision in the cricothyroid membrane which lies deep to this point.
