test persons, anaesthesiologists will identify the cricothyroid membrane on a silicone model of the neck with either palpation or ultrasonography.
The ultrasonographic method to be used is the Thyroid-Airline-Cricoid-Airline (TACA) approach.
The larynx-model is deviated to one of the sides to simulate a patient with neck pathology
