Touch vs. ultrasound: which finds the emergency airway spot faster?
NCT ID NCT06701864
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doctors can more accurately find the cricothyroid membrane (a critical spot for emergency airway access) on a neck model with a twisted windpipe using either their fingers or an ultrasound device. 61 anesthesiologists participated, each using one of the two methods. The goal was to see which technique leads to correct identification within one minute, which could improve emergency care for patients with neck abnormalities.
