An instance of massive hemorrhage following transtracheal aspiration with successful resuscitation is reported. Indications for the procedure are pneumonia with poor ability to produce sputum, fever, or pulmonary infiltrate in a stuporous patient, and facial injuries which would complicate nasotracheal suction. The cricothyroid membrane is recommended as the site of entry. If airway hemorrhage does occur, immediate maintenance of the airway and tamponade of the bleeding can aid in successful resuscitation of the patient.
