All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Pediatric =10 years old both sexes required cuffed ETT. 2. ASA I, II or III. 3. Patients Scheduled for elective upper endoscopy with previous history of multiple upper endoscopy for follow up esophageal varices or for esophageal dilatation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Legal Guardian refusal to participate in the study. 2. Any anatomical deformity of upper airway, previous surgery involving upper airway and any obvious scars, mass or ulcer in the neck which will interfere with the ultrasound examination

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
oAnd size will be considered as small if it equilibrates to <10 cmH2O after 10s. 4-If the tube size is small or large, it will be changed to next ETT by 0.5mm difference and leak test will be repeated to confirm the appropriate size (10). Primary outcome: The number of the patient with appropriate ETT size in both groups

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1- The internal diameter of the ETT from the age-based formula ABF, ETT size determined by ultrasound imaging and the size of ETT that the participant was intubated with. 2- HR (beat/min) and MAP. 3- EtCO2. 4- Tracheal leak inflation pressure using a cufflator. 5- Amount of used anesthetic agent. 6- Post extubation complication ex: laryngeal edema (croup) or stridor. 7- Recovery assesses by modified Aldrete score. 8- Patient and endoscopist satisfaction. 9- Ultrasound data.
