Pediatric General Anesthesia With Endotracheal Tube
Conditions
Keywords
ASA class 1,2, age 1-6 years, General anesthesia with ETT
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ultrasound study of the airway to predict endotracheal tube size in anesthetized pediatric patients better than the tube size formula
Detailed description
This study is to compare the methods of selecting uncuffed endotracheal tube size in pediatric patients between conventional age-based formula and ultrasound measurement of subglottic diameter.
