Point of care airway ultrasound to select tracheal tube and determine insertion depth in cleft repair surgery

Abstract We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of using airway ultrasonography to select the correct tracheal tube size and insertion depth in pediatric patients who underwent cleft repair surgery as a way to decrease airway complications and adverse events during perioperative periods. Fifty-one patien...
