Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Optimal Endotracheal Tube (ETT) Insertion Depth 2. Measured from the right angle of the mouth to the ETT tip, Confirmed using fibre-optic bronchoscopy 3. Correlated with patient anthropometric measurements (height, arm span, vertebral column length, BMI) Timepoint: 1. ETT Insertion Depth, measurement from the right angle of the mouth to the ETT tip, confirming using fibre-optic bronchoscopy, measurement of patients anthropometric measurement will be done immediately i.e at the time of data collection. 2. Correlation of data will be done after complete data collection - 8 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Correlation of Airway Length ( including - Vocal cord to carina, Vocal cord to right angle of mouth, Carina to right angle of mouth) with patient Parameters such as arm span, vertebral column length, weight & BMI 2. To create a regression formula based on anthropometric parameters to estimate optimal ett length 3. To look out for intraoperatie complications related to ett misplacement such as destaturation, tachycardia, hypertension, bronchospasmTimepoint: 1. Correlation of collected data will be done after 8 weeks 2. Regression formula creation 16 weeks 3. Intra operative complications will noted during the data collection | — |
