Assessment of Pediatric Challenging Airway

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Airway Complication of Anesthesia

• Registration Number: NCT06443424
• Lead Sponsor: Zagazig University

Brief Summary

The goal of these Observational study is to learn about pediatric airway the main question to answer is:

1-Is using point-of-care ultrasound provide an easy, early, and accurate preoperative assessment of the challenging pediatric airway and the endotracheal tube sizing more than traditional methods.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Estimation of tube size using point of care ultrasound compared to age formula in pediatric population	pre induction	estimate tubal size by ultasound parameters;distance from the skin to the anterior part of the trachea at the hyoid level (ANS-hyoid), The Anterior Neck Soft Tissue Thickness at the level of the vocal Cords. (ANS-VC), The pre - epiglottic space (Pre-E ), the distance from the epiglottis to the mid - point of the distance between the vocal cords (E-VC) , The subglottic transverse diameter and compare with age formula in pediatric

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Record any obstacles that may interfere with the ultrasound	during opeartion	● To record any obstacles that may interfere with the ultrasound assessment such as: acoustic, anatomic , optical illusion artifact.
Determine the accuracy of point of care ultrasound in assessing challenging pediatric airway	pre induction	determine the accuracy of point of care ultrasound in assessing challenging pediatric airway in correlation to Cormack Lehane grading in pediatric patients
