DOI: 10.1016/j.ijoa.2021.103205
Abstract: BACKGROUND During performance of emergency front of neck access, the final step in management algorithms for the 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' scenario, accurate identification of the cricothyroid membrane, is crucial. Accurate identification using palpation techniques… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/pec.0000000000002622
Abstract: Background The cricothyroid membrane (CTM) is the most important anatomic structure when performing emergency front-of-neck access (FONA) procedures. Adolescence is a period of rapid morphologic change in laryngeal structures, including the CTM. We hypothesized that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aas.13169
Abstract: The cricothyroid membrane is the most commonly accessed location for invasive surgical airway. Although the laryngeal handshake method is recommended for identifying the cricothyroid membrane, there is no clinical data regarding the utility of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aas.13680
Abstract: Emergency front of neck airway access by anaesthetists carries a high failure rate and it is recommended to identify the cricothyroid membrane before induction of anaesthesia in patients with a predicted difficult airway. We have… read more here.
