Abstract

[Ultrasound of the airway differs from that of other parts of the body in that it leverages on air-filled structures and the resultant hyperechoic air-mucosal interface. POCUS of the airway is noninvasive, portable, employs equipment that has multiple applications (hence is cost-effective), and has a relatively gentle learning curve. It is easily assimilated into a wide range of patient care settings, provides a means to update the traditional assessment of the airway and improves patient airway management and safety.]
