简要总结
Participants will be anesthesiologists, who will identify the cricothyroid membrane on a silicone model of the neck with either palpation or ultrasonography.
The participants can choose either the "String of pearls" or Thyroid-Airline-Cricoid-Airline (TACA) for the ultrasonographic method to be used .
The silicone model of the neck is distorted with with the larynx deviated to one of the sides to simulate a patient with neck pathology.
