Conditions
Summary
This study will aim to test the accuracy of the ultrasonography measurement of the epiphyseal diameter of the distal radius in the prediction of the size of the cuffed and uncuffed ETT that best fits in children (1-6 years old) in comparison with the traditional age-based formulas.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Weight: 10-30 kg.
- Age: 1-6 years.
- Sex: both males and females.
- ASA physical status: I-II.
- Operation: elective surgery in which airway management with an endotracheal tube is needed.
Exclusion Criteria4
- Upper airway malformations.
- Upper airway surgery.
- Active respiratory illness (cough, fever, rhinorrhea) on the day of anesthesia,
- Anticipated difficult airway.

Interventions
Patients will be intubated using a cuffed ETT with its OD determined by US measurement of the epiphyseal diameter of the distal radius.
Patients will be intubated using an uncuffed ETT (Flexicare-UK) with its OD determined by US measurement of the epiphyseal diameter of the distal radius.
