Abstract
Cricoid pressure, when properly applied, may prevent gastric regurgitation and may improve the view of laryngoscopy. When improperly applied, however, it can impede laryngoscopy and mask-ventilation. When faced with a "cannot intubate" or "cannot mask-ventilate" situation, clinicians should reevaluate the manner with which the assistant is applying cricoid pressure and must be prepared to adjust or even to release it.
