Intubation using endotracheal tube is done under general anaesthesia in children.The size is generally calculated using age based formulas. Ultrasound is now gaining popularity as a real-time tool for estimation of correct size tube.In this study we will compare the two parameters.

Prediction of paediatric microcuff endotracheal tube size by ultrasonography and its comparison to standard age based formula
