Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| to assess the SGD ultrasongraphically and compare it with age based formulae;as a true reflection of the correct ETT sizeTimepoint: its a single point measurement, which be less than a minute after giving muscle relaxant | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| -To assess the usefulness of US by reintubation attempts with different size of ETT due to unacceptable leak. -To compare US predicted ETT size with age based formulae Timepoint: Duration of the study will cease once the subglottic diameter is measured which may not be more than 15 minutes | — |
