The Use of a US-measured Styloid Process of the Distal Radius EET Diameter for Prediction of ETT Size

NCT06166927 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2025-03-24

No results posted yet for this study

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.

Conditions

  • Airway Management

Interventions

DEVICE

Cuffed endotracheal tube

Patients will be intubated using a cuffed ETT with its OD determined by US measurement of the epiphyseal diameter of the distal radius.

DEVICE

UnCuffed ETT

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.
