ABSTRACT
Ultrasonography (USG) allows a new approach to the airway in anaesthesia and intensive care. USG visualises the airway from the mouth to the lungs. By exploring the entire airway, USG proposes new criteria (1) to assess the risk of difficult laryngoscopy, (2) to anticipate the management of a difficult airway, (3) to confirm the position of the endotracheal tube (ETT), and (4) to confirm that the lungs are effectively ventilated. Intraoperatively, USG may also help to resolve acute ventilatory problems such as pneumothorax, delayed selective bronchial intubation after patient positioning (Trendelenburg, prone or lateral position) or acute pulmonary oedema.
