Pediatric Tracheal Tube Size

Brief summary

In the context of the study a retrospective data collection of all anaesthesia protocols of children under the age of 12 which underwent surgery in the Charité - University Medicine Berlin, Campus Virchow - Klinikum in the years 2011 and 2012 shall be executed. The correlation of the tracheal tube sizes with the weight, age and height shall be evaluated. This data collection should serve to reevaluate the already published formulas e.g. (Rettberg M. et al., 2011).

Measure	Time frame	Description
Correlation of the tracheal tube size with the known formulas for the calculation of the size. Correlation of the tracheal tube size with the known formulas for the calculation of the size	24 month data capture	For many years different weight, height, and/or age-based formulas have been published. The aim of the present study was to identify and to compare published formulas to estimate optimal tube size in pediatric patients.
