Cricothyroid Membrane, Ultrasound
Neck Position and Ultrasound Landmark of Cricothyroid Membrane
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…

Cricothyroidotomy
Evaluation of the ScalpelCric Set and Comparison With Two Further Techniques of Cricothyrotomy
During a cannot ventilate cannot intubate situation surgical airway is the last rescue option. Especially in the prehospital setting the airway management seems to be more difficult than in a hospital setting.
