3D Airway Model for Pediatric Patients
Abstract
To determine the correct size of endotracheal tubes (ETT) for endotracheal intubation of pediatric patients is no menial task. Although new methods have been investigated to determine ETT size, and the three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has been successful in the field of surgery, there are not many studies in the field of anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of a 3D airway model for prediction of the correct ETT size, and compare the results with a conventional age-based formula in pediatric patients.
