**7. Conclusion**

As reviewed earlier, the use of ultrasound during airway management can help identify anatomical anomalies in the airway structures and the location of cricothyroid membrane (useful in cricothyrotomies) as real-time visual confirmation of endotracheal tube position. Ultrasound measurements can also help in the prediction of difficult mask ventilation and intubation. In addition, lung ultrasound can also help detect pneumothorax which can happen due to barotrauma (during ventilation or tracheostomy) as well as unilateral intubations. The use of ultrasound as a teaching aid during airway management can promote visual learning.
