Does the SIPQuik Vacuum Cervical Splint fit everyone?

Can you perform a Needle Cricothyrotomy with the SIPQuik Vacuum Cervical Splint?

Yes, the needle Cricothyrotomy would be performed while the patient is stabilized. Then simply apply the SIPQuik cervical splint on the patient backwards, with the chin opening towards the back and the end flaps toward the front, exposing the cricothyrotomy site. The SIPQuik can then be deflated as usual, and it performs equally well in this backwards position.
