Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Literature shows that anaesthetists have a low success-rate when trying to access the airway percutaneously in case of failed ventilation and intubation.

The researchers will investigate anaesthetists ability to locate the trachea and the thyroid cartilage and the cricoid cartilage of a healthy subject with different methods including application of ultrasonography.

Cranial horizontal

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

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

identification of the airway by from the cranial end

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The airway is identified with inspection and imaging technique (ultrasound) by placing the ultrasound transducer over the thyroid cartilage and from there moving distally

caudal longitudinal

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

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

identification of the airway from the distal end

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The airway is identified with inspection and imaging technique (ultrasound) by placing the ultrasound transducer over the distal trachea and moving cranially
