airway ultrasound
Airway ultrasound is a helpful technique in caring for critically ill patients to both identify the crico-thyroid membrane and/or guide placement (or displacement!) of an endotracheal tube.
The illustrations and images below will help you understand the key anatomy of the upper airway structures both externally and sonographically. We will also briefly cover lung ultrasound to confirm endotracheal tube placement.
