Ultrasound has become a rapid, safe, and easy-to-use tool for anesthesiologists. It reduces complications, morbidity, and mortality, especially in patients with anatomic abnormalities in whom a traditional approach may be both difficult and risky. We report 2 cases of symptomatic patients with a difficult airway due to displacement of the trachea by a neck mass. Real-time ultrasound imaging was performed for percutaneous dilatational tracheostomies, identifying important structures, without any complications.
超声已成为麻醉医生快速、安全且易于使用的工具。它能减少并发症、发病率和死亡率，尤其对于存在解剖结构异常的患者，传统方法可能既困难又有风险。我们报告2例因颈部肿物致气管移位而出现困难气道的有症状患者。在经皮扩张气管切开术中进行实时超声成像，识别重要结构，未出现任何并发症。
