Ultrasound Study of the Airway to Predict Endotracheal Tube Size in Anesthetized Pediatric Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pediatric General Anesthesia With Endotracheal Tube

• Registration Number: NCT02321956
• Lead Sponsor: Siriraj Hospital

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.
