Performance time of anesthesiology trainees for cricothyroid membrane identification and characteristics of cricothyroid membrane in pediatric patients using ultrasonography.

Anesthesiology trainees without experience in airway ultrasound successfully identified the cricothyroid membrane in pediatric patients using ultrasonography after a brief training period. Further research is required as the identification of a structure does not predict the success of the actual procedure, particularly if done in an emergency situation.
