Utilizing ultrasonography to determine the minimal transverse diameter of the subglottic airway for informed selection of reinforced cuffed endotracheal tube models in children.

Objective: We explored the use of ultrasonography in determining the minimal transverse diameter of the subglottic airway (MTDSA) for the purpose of choosing an appropriate model of reinforced cuffed endotracheal tube.

Methods: A total of 110 pediatric patients who received general anesthesia and tracheal intubation for selective surgeries at the hospital from February 2019 to February 2022 were chosen. They were then randomly assigned to three groups: 39 in the MTDSA group, 35 in the age formula group, and 36 in the height formula group.

Association between sleep quality and general anesthesia in teenager under elective surgery: a prospective study.

Objective: Anesthesia was reported to be associated with lowered postoperative sleep quality in adults, but its effect on teenager was less understood. This study was conducted to explore the association between postoperative sleep quality and general anesthesia in teenagers.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted.
