A general guideline [1] for the selection of pediatric endotracheal tube size is $$ ETT size = \\frac{{age in years}}{4} + 4.0\\left( {mm, inner diam.} ight) $$ where the result should be rounded off to the nearest half-size smaller or larger if necessary....
The ETT is not completely removed until correct positioning of the tracheotomy tube is confirmed by attaching the anesthesia circuit and auscultating for bilateral breath sounds and confirming the presence of ETCO2. It should be noted that ventilation through the tracheotomy tube might be compromised ...
Children with elevated pulmonary artery pressures are at risk for developing an acute pulmonary hypertensive crisis during endotracheal tube (ETT) suctioning if adequate oxygenation is not maintained. Suctioning strategies for children at risk for developing pulmonary hypertension should include sedation, ...
However, over the last decade, the management of mild to moderate RDS has dramatically changed, endotracheal tube (ETT) intubation is often avoided and infants were managed with noninvasive modalities, such as continuous positive airway pressure whilst spontaneously breathing. In this population, ...

For this reason, if a cuffed tube is used during laparoscopy, we believe that the "ideal" position of the cuff being distal to the cricoid cartilage5 is unrealistic; instead, it should be passed just distal to the vocal cords. Conversely, when a child needs to be positioned prone, ...
(in 20% amniotic fluid) was placed in a funnel attached to the endotracheal tube (ETT) and maintained at a height such that hydrostatic pressure did not force meconium into the lungs. Meconium solution layered over the fetal lung liquid meniscus in the ETT. The umbilical cord was occluded ...
Anesthetic-related variables: anesthetic drugs used (Intravenous (IV) versus inhalational), analgesia type, the technique of anesthesia (GA with face mask (FM), GA with laryngeal mask airway (LMA), GA with an endotracheal tube ((ETT)), duration of anesthesia, muscle relaxants, propofol/opioid...

Background: Accurate determination of the optimal insertion depth of a pe- diatric endotracheal tube (ETT) is quite important. The aim of this study was to create an easily available formula that can be used to determine the optimal insertion depth for a cuffed ETT even without depth marking...
