Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the double-lumen tube insertion depth based on thyroid-sternal angle distance with calculated insertion depth based on patientâ??s height in terms of agreement with its final insertion length using fibreoptic bronchoscope.Timepoint: Outcome will be analysed after collection of data for the requisite sample size. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the agreement between thyroid-sternal angle distance measured clinically with glottis-carina length measured from CT scan images of study subjects.Timepoint: Outcome will be analysed after collection of data from requisite sample size. | — |
