The Use of a US-measured Styloid Process of the Distal Radius EET Diameter for Prediction of ETT Size
Sponsor: Assiut University
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.
Official title: The Correlation Between Ultrasound-measured Styloid Process of the Distal Radius and the Outer Diameter of the Best-fitting Endotracheal Tube in Pediatrics

Interventions
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.
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.
