Role of upper airway ultrasound in airway management
Upper airway ultrasound is a valuable, non-invasive, simple, and portable point of care ultrasound (POCUS) for evaluation of airway management even in anatomy distorted by pathology or trauma. Ultrasound enables us to identify important sonoanatomy of the upper airway such as thyroid cartilage, epiglottis, cricoid cartilage, cricothyroid membrane, tracheal cartilages, and esophagus. Understandi...
متن کاملComments to Role of upper airway ultrasound in airway management

If the second A-M interface appears, which we call a "double-tract sign," esophageal intubation is considered.
