Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to better understand postoperative respiratory adverse events that may occur in some children under three years of age undergoing airway management during surgery. As part of the study, ultrasonographic measurements of a portion of the upper airway will be performed during surgery using a non-invasive ultrasound device. These measurements will be evaluated in relation to perioperative respiratory outcomes. The results of this study may contribute to improved understanding of airway-related factors associated with postoperative respiratory safety in young children.

Arms & Interventions
Pediatric patients under three years of age
This cohort includes children under three years of age undergoing elective surgery. As part of routine perioperative care, ultrasonographic measurements of the subglottic airway are performed during surgery. Participants are followed postoperatively for the occurrence of respiratory-related adverse events.
Intervention: Ultrasonographic subglottic airway measurement (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAE)
Time Frame: immediately after the surgery
The occurrence of clinically significant perioperative respiratory adverse events, defined as moderate to severe stridor and/or laryngospasm requiring clinical intervention, including positive pressur
Secondary Outcomes
- Ultrasonographic subglottic airway dimensions and area(During surgery)
