I'm guessing that because she was into shock after eating the peanut, I think Drew had made a emergenvy incision in her neck to retrieve the peanut. That's my interpation.

She didn't eat a peanut...she kissed someone who'd been eating peanut butter cookies or something like that.

Actually what she did was perform an emergency tracheotomy. She used the knife to puncture a hole and placed the ink pen barrel in the hole to provide a breathing tube for the victim. When you have an extreme allergic reaction to something your throat closes off preventing your ability to breath properly. As Nancy said DO NOT try this at home unless you have been thoroughly trained in advance lifesaving courses!!

Emergency Trach usually is taught to or performed by teenage girls. Although I think she should have had an epi-pen for being allergic to peanuts.

But than again, nancy drew would totally know how to do an emergency trach. It's an emergency field medical skill. Now if nancy had to treat tension pneumothorax, than i be a little hold up!

I wondered about her ability to perform that mini-operation. I think that the Nancy Drew character was supposed to be proficient at first aid. But I was wondering if that was beyond the usual first aid skills.
