The Use of a US-measured Styloid Process of the Distal Radius EET Diameter for Prediction of ETT Size

Egypt100 participantsStarted 2024-01-10

Plain-language 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.
