Airway POCUS for airway assessment in hospital and critical care environment: A comprehensive review
Author(s): Dr. Shubha Srinivasareddy
Abstract: Ultrasound (US) imaging improves the dependability and precision of airway intervention and assessments. In recent years, scientific research on utilizing ultrasound in the management of airway has advanced, aligning with the increased availability of portable and affordable US machines. After being used in the insertion of central venous catheter and regional blocks, it is now increasingly used in preparation for dealing with a difficult airway and ensuring its secure maintenance. It has questioned the conventional strategy of clinical airway evaluation and enables a more active assessment at the bedside. This review article will seek to offer a brief overview of ultrasound’s applications in the management of airway.
