Summary

test persons, anaesthesiologists will identify the cricothyroid membrane on a silicone model of the neck with either palpation or ultrasonography. The ultrasonographic method to be used is the Thyroid-Airline-Cricoid-Airline (TACA) approach. The larynx-model is deviated to one of the sides to simulate a patient with neck pathology

Detailed description

test persons, anaesthesiologists will identify the cricothyroid membrane on a silicone model of the neck with either palpation or ultrasonography. The ultrasonographic method to be used is the Thyroid-Airline-Cricoid-Airline (TACA) approach. The larynx-model is deviated to one of the sides to simulate a patient with neck pathology. The test persons are randomised to use other palpation or ultrasonography. Al attempts are video-taped
