简要总结
This prospective randomized study aims to compare ultrasound-guided assessment with conventional formula-based methods for determining the appropriate endotracheal tube (ETT) size in pediatric patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. The primary objective is to evaluate the accuracy of ETT size selection using ultrasonography compared to the age-based Coles formula. Secondary objectives include assessing correlations between ETT size determined by other methods—height-based, age-based, and little finger diameter-based—with findings from ultrasonography and the Coles formula. Key outcomes include first-attempt success rates, intubation time, tube exchanges, and post-operative respiratory complications, providing evidence-based insights for pediatric anesthesia practice.
