Conditions
Pediatric General Anesthesia With Endotracheal Tube
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Ultrasound
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.
