To find out the accuracy of demographic(Middle finger length, Age, Height, Weight) based formula for placement of correct endotracheal intubation insertion depth using fibre-optic bronchoscope.

Analytical study for estimating the accuracy of demographic based formulae in measuring endotracheal intubation depths in children taking depth assessed by fibre optic bronchoscope as gold standard - NIL

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
. To correlate the Endotracheal tube insertion depth measured by demographic formulae using middle finger length, age, weight or height with Endotracheal tube insertion depth calculated using fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in children. INTRAOPERATIVE MEASUREMENTS; Mean length from incisors to vocal cords Mean length from incisors to carina Mean length of trachea Mean distance of endotracheal tube tip to carina Mean insertion depths using various formulas and ET tube placement prediction Timepoint: After induction of Anaesthesia At the time of intubation—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To deduce the most accurate formula for calculation of ETT insertion depth. Timepoint: post-operatively—
