An interventional study of identification of the airway by from the cranial end and identification of the airway from the distal end in Upper Airway Obstruction, sponsored by Rigshospitalet, Denmark. Completed at 2 sites in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-01-05.
Sponsored by Rigshospitalet, Denmark · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
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.

Exclusion Criteria:
identification of the airway by from the cranial end. Marking of the airway, including the cricothyroid membrane, on the skin, by starting the examination from the cranial end at the level of the thyroid catilage , horizontally and thereafter moving caudally
Behavioral: identification of the airway by from the cranial end
identification of the airway from the distal end. Marking of the airway, including the cricothyroid membrane, on the skin, by starting the examination caudally, and then moving cranially
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 thyroid cartilage and from there moving distally
The airway is identified with inspection and imaging technique (ultrasound) by placing the ultrasound transducer over the distal trachea and moving cranially
time to identify the structures necessary for percutaneous airway acess
Time frame: two minutes after initiation of the attempt to identify the airway structures
