Clinical trials: Cricothyroid Membrane
Cricothyroidotomy
How Easy is it to Identify the Cricothyroid Membrane in Children? Can Ultrasound Imagine be Used to Aid Identification?
The Investigators aim to determine how easy it is for anaesthetists to identify the Cricothyroid membrane (CTM) in children and infants and whether ultrasound maybe useful in addition.

Focus: Localizing the Cricothyroid Membrane Before Airway Management
Ultrasound Examination Versus Palpation to Locate the Cricothyroid Membrane
Anesthesiologists get a course on localizing the cricothyroid membrane on a human using ultrasonography. Thereafter their ability to localize the cricothyroid membrane with either palpation or ultrasonography, in a randomised…
