Accuracy of digital palpation and laryngeal handshake in identification of cricothyroid membrane: An observational study
Abstract
Background: Evaluation of the anterior neck anatomy is essential to identify the cricothyroid membrane (CTM) before invasive surgical airway. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of cricothyroid membrane identification done by digital palpation (DP) method and laryngeal handshake palpation (LHP).
