Clinical Trial: Identification of Airway Structures Necessary for Airway Access Via the Skin

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Identification of Airway Structures Necessary for Airway Access Via the Skin to be Used in Case of Failure to Maintain Oxygenation With Non-invasive Methods

Brief 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.
