Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| to determine the appropriateness of the ETT size assessed by ultrasonography as compared to that assessed by the age based Coles formula .Timepoint: Baseline | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine whether the other methods to determine the ETT size ,namely-height based, age based, & little finger diameter based correlate with the findings of Ultrasonography & Coles formula.Timepoint: The study evaluates at baseline the methods for determining paediatric ETT size. Preoperative measurements (height, age, little finger diameter) & Coles formula estimates will be compared with intra-operative ultrasound findings. Post-intubation, success rates, intubation time, & tube exchanges will be assessed. Postoperative monitoring includes complications like stridor, correlating results with ultrasound & Coles formula. | — |
