Brief Summary

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

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

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

randomised to either "palpation" or "ultrasonography"

The participants are thus randomised to use either "palpation" or to use "ultrasonography" to DIAGNOSE the position of the cricothyroid membrane
Primary Study Purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Blinding Strategy

NONE
