About this trial

The goal of these Observational study is to learn about pediatric airway the main question to answer is:

1-Is using point-of-care ultrasound provide an easy, early, and accurate preoperative assessment of the challenging pediatric airway and the endotracheal tube sizing more than traditional methods.

Primary outcomes

1

Estimation of tube size using point of care ultrasound compared to age formula in pediatric population

estimate tubal size by ultasound parameters;distance from the skin to the anterior part of the trachea at the hyoid level (ANS-hyoid), The Anterior Neck Soft Tissue Thickness at the level of the vocal Cords. (ANS-VC), The pre - epiglottic space (Pre-E ), the distance from the epiglottis to the mid - point of the distance between the vocal cords (E-VC) , The subglottic transverse diameter and compare with age formula in pediatric

Time frame
pre induction
