Comparison of Age-Based Formula and Ultrasound-Guided Subglottic Diameter Measurement for Endotracheal Tube Sizing
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Ultrasound: Using Ultrasound for accuracy of ETT sizing
Cole's Formula: Subglottic diameter in mm x 0.8
Study summary
To compare the accuracy of ultrasound-guided subglottic diameter measurement versus age-based formulas in determining the optimal endotracheal tube (ETT) size in pediatric patients with single ventricle physiology and reducing post-extubation complications.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Accuracy of ETT size selection — During endotracheal intubation, immediately after induction of anesthesia and neuromuscular blockade (within 10 minutes after induction)
Accuracy of endotracheal tube size selection measured by the number of ETT attempts required to achieve an appropriate leak test and successful airway placement.
