Comments to Role of upper airway ultrasound in airway management

Tracheal ultrasound can be an alternative diagnostic tool in airway management, besides traditional confirmatory methods such as capnography and auscultation. The standard image is a hyperechoic air–mucosa (A–M) interface with a reverberation artifact posteriorly (comet-tail artifact). If the second...

description Tracheal ultrasound can be an alternative diagnostic tool in airway management, besides traditional confirmatory methods such as capnography and auscultation. The standard image is a hyperechoic air–mucosa (A–M) interface with a reverberation artifact posteriorly (comet-tail artifact). If the second A–M interface appears, which we call a “double-tract sign,” esophageal intubation is considered.
