Technique for Ultrasound During Endotracheal Intubation - a podcast by Ultrasound GEL

We already know that ultrasound can be used to help with endotracheal intubation. The idea is that you can visualize the trachea and esophagus while someone is attempting to place the endotracheal tube - and see which one lights up with the air-filled balloon.

How long does this take? Some of these answers are obvious, but this study takes a look to figure out where you can get the most bang for your airway ultrasound buck.
