Ultrasound assessment of subglottic region for estimation of appropriate endotracheal tube size in pediatric anesthesia
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endotracheal tube (ETT) selection in pediatric patients is mainly done with the age, height, or weight-based formula. We compared ultrasound assessment of the subglottic area to predict the outer diameter of the ETT, with that of modified Cole's formula. The aim of the study is to compare the appropriateness of uncuffed ETT selection based on modified Cole's formula with tha...
متن کاملPrediction of pediatric endotracheal tube size by ultrasonography.
BACKGROUND Formulas based on age and height often fail to reliably predict the proper endotracheal tube (ETT) size in pediatric patients. We, thus, tested the hypothesis that subglottic diameter, as determined by ultrasonography, better predicts optimal ETT size than existing methods. METHODS A total of 192 patients, aged 1 month to 6 yr, who were scheduled for surgery and undergoing general ...
متن کاملPrediction of endotracheal tube size for pediatric patients from the epiphysis diameter of radius
BACKGROUND Using a too big or a too small size of an endotracheal tube in pediatric patients would result in tracheal injury or insufficient ventilation. Determining the appropriate endotracheal tube size is important because using an inappropriate size can cause complications. This study was performed to predict the appropriate endotracheal tube size by measuring the transverse diameter of the...
متن کاملThe effect of cuffed endotracheal tube on respiratory complication following adenotonsillectomy in children
Abstract Background: Uncuffed endotracheal tube(ETT) were considered for children less than 8 years. Meanwhile, aspiration around ETT in patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy is concerned.We compared cuffed versus uncuffed ETT regarding respiratory complications following adenotonsillectomy. Methods: 128 children aged 2-8 yr were divided to two groups of 64 each. Uncuffed and cuffed tubes w...
متن کاملUltrasonographic Confirmation of Endotracheal Tube Position in Neonates.
OBJECTIVE To compare endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance obtained by ultrasonography vs. that obtained by chest X-ray in neonates. METHODS After endotracheal intubation of 40 neonates, chest X-ray and, within one hour, ultrasonography was obtained for each patient for measurement of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance. RESULTS Means of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distances wer...
