Previous studies of laryngeal and respiratory control of the voice source often focus on main effects of individual control parameters but not their interactions. The goal of this study is to systematically identify important interaction effects in laryngeal and respiratory control of the voice source and vocal fold contact pressure in a three-dimensional voice production model. Computational simulations were performed with parametric variations in vocal fold geometry, stiffness, prephonatory glottal gap, and subglottal pressure.

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.

Objectives: To determine an optimal cuff inflation volume to achieve safe cuff pressure (20-25 cmH2O) in cuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) with an inner diameter of 4.5, 5.0, and 5.

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.
