Article Synopsis
- The study examines the dimensions of cricothyroid membranes (CTMs) in healthy Chinese adults, evaluating two neck positions: one with a rigid neck collar (RNC) and one with the neck extended using ultrasonography.
- It involved scanning 39 emergency department staff members, measuring CTMs, and recording data on their body metrics along with the time taken to acquire images.
- Results showed that CTMs can be reliably located via ultrasound regardless of neck position, suggesting that further research is needed on performing cricothyroidotomies with RNCs in place.
