The accuracy of locating the cricothyroid membrane by palpation – an intergender study
BACKGROUND The cricothyroid membrane (CTM) is the recommended site of access to the airway during cricothyrotomy to provide emergency oxygenation. We sought to compare the ability of physicians to correctly identify the CTM in male and female patients. METHODS In a prospective observational study, anaesthetists were asked to locate the CTM by palpation which was then identified using ultrasou...
متن کاملIdentification of the lumbar interspinous spaces: palpation versus ultrasound.
BACKGROUND Palpation has been shown to be inaccurate at identifying lumbar interspinous spaces. Our goal in this study was to compare ultrasound imaging of the region to palpation. METHODS Using ultrasound in the postpartum period, we estimated the interspinous level used for obstetric neuraxial anesthesia in 121 women and compared this estimation with the level estimated by palpation and doc...
متن کاملUltrasonographic Appearance of the Cricothyroid Membrane.
for delayed functional recovery is an important step toward providing individualized, effective, cost-conscious, and high-value care in the context of the perioperative surgical home.7 While we agree that the blood test used an external or “artificial” TLR4 ligand (lipopolysaccharide) that may not recapitulate biology as it unfolds during surgery, the use of lipopolysaccharide to activate a spe...
متن کاملUltrasonographic identification of the cricothyroid membrane: best evidence, techniques, and clinical impact.
Inability to identify the cricothyroid membrane by inspection and palpation contributes substantially to the high failure rate of cricothyrotomy. This narrative review summarizes the current evidence for application of airway ultrasonography for identification of the cricothyroid membrane compared with the clinical techniques. We identified the best-documented techniques for bedside use, their ...
متن کاملHemodialysis catheter implantation in the axillary vein by ultrasound guidance versus palpation or anatomical reference
BACKGROUND WE COMPARED THE RESULTS OF FOUR DIFFERENT METHODS OF HEMODIALYSIS CATHETER INSERTION IN THE MEDIAL SEGMENT OF THE AXILLARY VEIN: ultrasound guidance, palpation, anatomical reference, and prior transient catheter. METHODS All patients that required acute or chronic hemodialysis and for whom it was determined impossible or not recommended either to place a catheter in the internal ju...
