An Endotracheal Tube Inserted to the Level of the Hypopharynx

Sponsor: American University of Beirut Medical Center

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess the incidence of successful ventilation using an ETT inserted orally above the vocal cords in pediatric patients undergoing surgeries. The main question it aims to answer are: Is the use of an endotracheal tube (ETT), positioned in the hypopharynx with its tip placed just above the vocal cords an easy, safe and effective way for the ventilation of pediatric patients who are undergoing surgery under general anesthesia via orotracheal intubation? The procedures to be performed in this study are standard of care. They are also used by pediatric anesthesiologists in the oral intubation of pediatric patients suffering from tumor or abscess.
