Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the success rate of proper position of ETT when the cuff of the ETT passes 2 cm below the vocal cords by using fibre-optic bronchoscopy and point of care Ultrasound. 2. Anthropometric patient factors influencing the tracheal length and its correlation with the measurement of fixation point of endotracheal tube, in our population.Timepoint: 1. To assess the success rate of proper position of ETT when the cuff of the ETT passes 2 cm below the vocal cords by using fibre-optic bronchoscopy and point of care Ultrasound. 2. Anthropometric patient factors influencing the tracheal length and its correlation with the measurement of fixation point of endotracheal tube, in our population.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To assess the safe position of endotracheal tube in relation to carina. 2. To measure the airway distances i.e. total airway length (lip to carina), tracheal length (vocal cord - carina). Timepoint: during the preanaesthetic assessment and intubation
