Visualization of the hyoid bone
Visualization of the hyoid bone using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: transverse plane). Hyoid bone visualization will be assessed as a binary outcome (yes/no).
Visualization of vocal cords
Visualization of the vocal cords through the cricoid cartilage using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: transverse plane). Vocal cords visualization will be assessed as a binary outcome (yes/no).
Localization of thyrohyoid membrane
Localization of thyrohyoid membrane using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: midsagittal plane). Thyrohyoid membrane visualization will be assessed as a binary outcome (yes/no).
Visualization of epiglottis and pre-epiglottic space
Visualization of epiglottis and pre-epiglottic space using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: midsagittal plane). Epiglottis and pre-epiglottic space visualization will be assessed as a binary outcome (yes/no).
Visualization of cricothyroid membrane
Visualization of cricothyroid membrane using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: midsagittal plane). Cricothyroid membrane visualization will be assessed as a binary outcome (yes/no).
Visualization of thyroid gland
Visualization of thyroid gland using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: transverse plane). Thyroid gland visualization will be assessed as a binary outcome (yes/no).
