The Effect of Supraglottic Airway Insertion on the Accuracy of Cricothyroid Membrane Identification in Females

NCT03105037 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 64

Last updated 2018-09-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Prospective, observational, study that will examine if a sited supraglottic airway (the igel) will increase the accuracy of identifying the cricothyroid membrane in female patients.

Consented patients that meet inclusion criteria are assessed by clinicians under general anaesthesia with and without a supraglottic airway in situ. The accuracy of CTM identification by palpation will be evaluated using ultrasound.
