Sellick's maneuver, or cricothyroid pressure, may also be used in this phase.

In the late 1990s, Meltzer performed many cricothyroid approximation surgeries.

He thought he found the thyroid cartilage, the cricothyroid membrane just below it.

Large scale changes are accomplished by increasing the tension in the vocal folds through contraction of the cricothyroid muscle.

The external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve innervates the cricothyroid muscle.

It receives the superior laryngeal and cricothyroid veins.

It functions to tense the vocal cords by activating the cricothyroid muscle, increasing pitch.

Cricothyroid muscles lengthen and stretch the vocal folds.

The deep anterior cervical lymph nodes are found near the middle cricothyroid ligament and the trachea.

It descends on the larynx, beneath the sternothyroid muscle, to supply the cricothyroid muscle.

The cricothyroid muscle is the only tensor muscle of the larynx, aiding with phonation.

The conus elasticus (or elastic cone) is the lateral portion of the cricothyroid ligament.

It arises in front from the lower half of the angle of the thyroid cartilage, and from the middle cricothyroid ligament.

Inability to identify landmarks (cricothyroid membrane)

In an emergency a Cricothyrotomy can be used by health care professionals, where an airway is inserted through a surgical opening in the cricothyroid membrane.

This book uses, after all, a specialized language mixing anatomical references to the arytenoid and cricothyroid muscles with ardent, mystical metaphors.

The cricothyroid articulation (or joint) is a joint connecting the cricoid cartilage and the thyroid cartilage.

Cricothyroid approximation (CTA) (is the most common)

Its innervation is by the recurrent laryngeal nerve (from vagus) just like all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid muscle.

The posterior edge of each lamina articulates with the cricoid cartilage inferiorly at a joint called the cricothyroid joint.

Improved voice training methods (which often produce better results than the surgery) and the inherent risks of vocal surgery have largely eliminated the demand for cricothyroid approximation.

The cricothyroid ligament is the larger part of the laryngeal membrane, continuing inferiorly as a median or anterior part and twin lateral ligaments.

A solitary attacker could have knocked him out first, stuck in the cricothyroid punch to render his voice box useless, then tied him up before he came to.

The recurrent laryngeal nerves provide motor control for all external muscles of the larynx except for the cricothyroid muscle, which also runs along the posterior thyroid.

The patient had been anesthetized, and a fourth-year surgical resident was cutting through the cricothyroid membrane, seeking to establish an airway without going through the nose or mouth.
