Evaluation of a novel Surgicric® cricothyroidotomy device for emergency tracheal access in a porcine model.

abstract：:Only two cases of deliberate self-poisoning with metformin have been described in the literature. We report the management of three cases, all of which presented with severe lactic acidosis. Two cases had a fatal outcome. The options for treatment and previous cases reported in the literature are reviewed. Recommendat...
