简要总结
Choosing​ the correct endotracheal tube size is important in paediatric anaesthesia. The subglottic diameter being the narrowest diameter of the paediatric upper airway plays an important role in appropriate ETT size selection . Thus predicting internal diameter of tracheal tube using middle finger length is clearly advantageous in emergency situation. The benefit of reduced tracheal tube exchanges multiple attempts in intubating, decreased risk of postoperative laryngospasm bronchospasm, and laryngeal edema. Decreases risk associated with a tracheal tube with smaller internal diameter such as increased airway resistance, increased risk of tracheal tube blockade by secretions.
