Assessment of Endotracheal Tube Temperature Effects in Children Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy
Sponsor: Bursa City Hospital
Summary
Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in children worldwide. life-threatening complications such as laryngospasm and bronchospasm may develop in the postoperative period. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of using endotracheal intubation tubes at different temperatures during intubation on respiratory complications in the postoperative period in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

Interventions
24°C Endotracheal tube
A disposable ETT sized appropriately for the age of the patients will be kept in a 40°C incubator (MIR-162) for 30 minutes. An infrared non-contact thermometer will be used to measure the ETT wall temperature. After removal from the incubator, intubation will be performed as soon as the tubes reach a temperature of 24°C for the T1 group by serial measurements. All intubations will be performed by a single anesthesiologist who is not associated with the study.
37°C Endotracheal tube
A disposable ETT sized appropriately for the age of the patients will be kept in a 40°C incubator (MIR-162) for 30 minutes. An infrared non-contact thermometer will be used to measure the ETT wall temperature. After removal from the incubator, intubation will be performed as soon as the tubes reach a temperature of 37°C for the T2 group by serial measurements. All intubations will be performed by a single anesthesiologist who is not associated with the study.
