Summary
This study tested whether doctors can find the cricothyroid membrane (a crucial spot for emergency airway access) more accurately by touch or by ultrasound. 61 anesthesiologists used either method on a silicone neck model with a shifted voice box, mimicking a patient with a neck problem. The goal was to see which method leads to correct identification within one minute.
