Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The confirmation of ETT depth

    A transcricothyroid membrane view of the ultrasonography was chosen for confirmation of ETT depth measurement. Firstly, measured the distance from probe (skin) to anterior surface of ETT. Then, measured the distance from probe (skin) to balloon cuff level. Finally the depth of ETT (Distance from vocal cord to balloon cuff) was calculated by using Pythagorus rule.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The confirming the presence of ETT in airway.
