Ultrasonography measurement of glottic transverse diameter and subglottic diameter to predict endotracheal tube size in children: a prospective cohort study

Abstract We aimed to determine the correlation between mid-glottic transverse diameter/subglottic diameter and outer diameter of endotracheal tube (ETT) by ultrasonography in children. Ninety-five patients aged 1–8 years who underwent general anesthesia were included. Ultrasonography of glottic/subg...
