Usefulness of Ultrasound-guided Measurement of Minimal Transverse Diameter of Subglottic Airway in Determining the Endotracheal Tube Size in Children with Congenital Heart Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

INTRODUCTION: The search for an accurate and predictable method to estimate the endotracheal tube (ETT) size in pediatric population had led to derivation of many formulae. Of this, age-based formulae are the most commonly used. Studies have shown that minimal transverse diameter of subglottic airwa...
