Role of Ultrasound in Airway Assessment in the Respiratory Intensive Care Units
Marwa Hussein Mohammad;
Abstract
Airway evaluation and management remains an ever emerging clinical science. Present airway management tools are static and don’t provide dynamic airway management option.
In contrast, US provides point of care real time dynamic views of the airway in perioperative, emergency and critical care settings. It is free of ionizing radiation, portable, convenient, reproducible, accurate, easily mastered skill.
In view of the above, the present study was undertaken to investigate the role of US in the assessment of upper airways and determines whether US has the potential to serve as an effective, non-invasive method for diagnosis of tracheomalacia.
