Article Abstract
Cricothyroid membrane puncture and incision,the key techniques to save the lives of the patients in the Can't Intubate,Can't Oxygenate (CICO) emergency,need to be mastered by all the airway management staff.However,the decision to carry out cricothyroid membrane puncture or incision is often delayed due to the unfamiliarity with the adjacent anatomical structure of the cricothyroid membrane and the inability to accurately locate the cricothyroid membrane.As a result,serious complications and rescue failure occur.Therefore,airway management staff should be familiar with the adjacent structure and positioning methods of the cricothyroid membrane,so as to improve the success rate of emergency airway rescue,reduce complications,and protect the airway and life safety of the patients.

Introduction: The utility of bedside screening tests for the prediction of difficult airways is limited. There is growing interest in the role of point-of-care-ultrasound in airway assessment and management. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the diagnostic utility and clinical application of various upper airway point-of-care-ultrasound parameters in the prediction of difficult airways.

Ultrasound-guided identification of the cricothyroid membrane is more accurate than traditional palpation techniques. Additionally, real-time ultrasound-guided puncture is more precise than ultrasound alone. However, no dedicated device currently exists for ultrasound-guided needle cricothyroidotomy.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of vocal fold botulinum toxin injection (BTI) for treating patients with the glottic form of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO).
Methods: The outcomes of 13 patients treated with BTI for a confirmed diagnosis of EILO between May 2017 and July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Electromyography-guided bilateral BTI (1.

We report a case of a complete cricothyroid membrane soft tissue defect successfully reconstructed with a synthetic, resorbable, hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata). This matrix offers an alternative to traditional allogeneic, xenogeneic, and biologic reconstructive options while potentially avoiding the complications associated with it.

Background and objectives Cricothyrotomy is a life-saving procedure in "cannot intubate, cannot ventilate" scenarios, with accurate identification of the cricothyroid membrane (CTM) being critical to success. Palpation techniques are often unreliable, especially in obese patients. This study aimed to compare the time taken and success rates of transverse versus longitudinal ultrasound approaches for CTM identification by anesthesiology trainees in volunteers of varying body habitus.
