Changes in Ultrasound-guided Skin Markings of the Cricothyroid Membrane in Three Different Neck Positions: a Prospective Observational Pilot Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Movement for Cricothyroid Membrane and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 58 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cricothyroid membrane (CTM) localization is a critical step prior to emergent surgical airway access. Ultrasound-guided localization of the CTM on the skin of the neck had been suggested prior to induction of general anesthesia so that a marked entry point can be used to quickly establish emergent front of neck access if required. In this prospective observational study, the investigators aim to determine the potential for migration of the CTM markings in the sagittal plane during neck repositioning.
