Key result
Airway ultrasound serves as a reliable aid in anesthesia and intensive care for predicting difficult airways, visualizing intubation cannula positioning, and evaluating the airway post-intubation.
Why the study?
Protocols need to be established for the better integration of ultrasound in airway evaluation in anesthesia and intensive care.
Does airway ultrasound improve airway evaluation in anesthesia and intensive care patients?
Does airway ultrasound improve airway evaluation in anesthesia and intensive care patients?
Airway ultrasound is a reliable adjuvant tool for airway evaluation in anesthesia and intensive care, aiding in predicting difficult airways and confirming intubation.
Supports airway ultrasound as adjuvant for evaluation in anesthesia and ICU; leaves open standardized protocols and prospective validation.
Ultrasound is an everyday diagnostic tool. In anesthesia and intensive care, it has a role as an adjuvant for many procedures, including the evaluation of the airway. Ultrasound airway evaluation can help predict a difficult airway, visualize the proper positioning of an intubation cannula, or evaluate the airway post-intubation. Protocols need to be established for the better integration of ultrasound in the airway evaluation, however until a consensus is reached in this respect, the ultrasound is a reliable aid in anesthesia and intensive care.

Lazăr et al. (2022) conducted a review in Anesthesia and intensive care patients requiring airway evaluation. Airway ultrasound was evaluated. Airway ultrasound serves as a reliable aid in anesthesia and intensive care for predicting difficult airways, visualizing intubation cannula positioning, and evaluating the airway post-intubation.
