Overview
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.[1]
