Conditions
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

- Emergency surgery
- Patients with tracheostomy tubes
- Recent or active upper respiratory tract infection
- Airway anomalies (e.g. Pierre Robin, Treacher Collins)
- ICU stay due to complications other than that of airway
