Abstract:Background
Selecting the optimal tracheal tube size is critically important for pediatric patients. Age-based formulas are often used, but still have limitations. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate whether middle finger measurements correlate with cuffed tracheal tube size and to further develop a prediction model based on these measurements.
Methods
Patients under 12 years of age scheduled for elective surgery involving tracheal intubation were enroll… Show more
