Subcutaneous emphysema is frequently shown as a smooth swelling of the skin. When a health care professional palpates the skin, the gas is forced into the tissue, causing a peculiar cracking feeling (crepitus).

Therefore, palpation of the neck or the face is the best method that can be employed for the detection of subcutaneous emphysema.
