Summary

Literature shows that anaesthetists have a low success-rate when trying to access the airway percutaneously in case of failed ventilation and intubation.

The study will investigate anaesthetists ability to locate the trachea and the thyroid cartilage and the cricoid cartilage in patients, using different methods including application of ultrasonography.

Conditions

  • Upper Airway Obstruction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

identification of the airway by from the cranial end

The airway is identified with inspection and imaging technique (ultrasound) by placing the ultrasound transducer over the thyroid cartilage and from there moving distally

BEHAVIORAL

identification of the airway from the distal end

The airway is identified with inspection and imaging technique (ultrasound) by placing the ultrasound transducer over the distal trachea and moving cranially
