Interventions
OTHER

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).

OTHER

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).

OTHER

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).

OTHER

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).

OTHER

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).

OTHER

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).

OTHER

Hyoid bone to skin distance

Measurement of hyoid bone to skin distance (mm) using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: transverse plane).

OTHER

Anterior commissure to skin distance

Measurement of anterior commissure to skin distance (mm) using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: transverse plane).

OTHER

Epiglottis to skin distance

Measurement of epiglottis to skin distance (mm) using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: midsagittal plane).

OTHER

Thyroid isthmus to skin distance

Measurement of thyroid isthmus to skin distance (mm) using POCUS of upper airway (probe positioning: transverse plane).
