N/ACompletedNCT02321956

Siriraj Hospital93 enrolled

Overview

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

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.
