-The bedside ultrasonography is a safe and noninvasive study that is very useful in evaluating a patient in the emergency department when acute epiglottitis is suspected. The alphabet "P" sign is formed by acoustic shadow of hyoid bone and swollen epiglottis at the level of thyrohyoid membrane in a longitudinal orientation.<ref name="pmid20674236">{{cite journal| author=Hung TY, Li S, Chen PS, Wu LT, Yang YJ, Tseng LM et al.| title=Bedside ultrasonography as a safe and effective tool to diagnose acute epiglottitis. | journal=Am J Emerg Med | year= 2011 | volume= 29 | issue= 3 | pages= 359.e1-3 | pmid=20674236 | doi=10.1016/j.ajem.2010.05.001 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=20674236  }} </ref>
