Background: In everyday pediatric anesthesia practice, clinicians frequently exchange an already inserted endotracheal tube because of a leak or resistance causing significant morbidity. We investigated the accuracy of two ultrasound measurements; the transverse cricoid diameter and epiphyseal diameter of the distal radius in the prediction of endotracheal tube size that best fits in children compared to age-based formulas.
Patients: One hundred children (1-6 years) who underwent elective surgery with endotracheal tube whether cuffed (n = 50) or uncuffed (n = 50) were enrolled.
