Ultrasound-guided Identification of Cricoid Cartilage in Cricoid Pressure

NCT03990337 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 130

Last updated 2019-06-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is aimed to provide the evidence that ultrasound-guided identification of the cricoid cartilage can improve effectiveness of cricoid pressure. Ultrasound (US) is well recognized as a technique for identifying the neck landmarks including the cricoid cartilage. Based on the potential results that may show that US could be a tool for improve the effectiveness of cricoid pressure, the investigators expect to disseminate this knowledge to be transformed in the standard technique for helping anesthesiologists and nurses to do pressure in the correct location. It is expected that the greatest impact of this study will lead to improved patient outcomes and safety, particularly in the ones with high-risk for aspiration.
