متن کاملUltrasound assessment of subglottic region for estimation of appropriate endotracheal tube size in pediatric anesthesia
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endotracheal tube (ETT) selection in pediatric patients is mainly done with the age, height, or weight-based formula. We compared ultrasound assessment of the subglottic area to predict the outer diameter of the ETT, with that of modified Cole's formula. The aim of the study is to compare the appropriateness of uncuffed ETT selection based on modified Cole's formula with tha...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effect of Tumor Position on Standardized Uptake Value Using Time-of-Flight Reconstruction and Point Spread Function
Objective(s): The present study was conducted to examine whether the standardized uptake value (SUV) may be affected by the spatial position of a lesion in the radial direction on positron emission tomography (PET) images, obtained via two methods based on time-of-flight (TOF) reconstruction and point spread function (PSF). Methods: A cylinder phantom with the sphere (30mm diameter), located in...
متن کاملPediatric endotracheal tube selection: a comparison of age-based and height-based criteria.
Many methods are taught and used clinically to determine what size uncuffed endotracheal tube is required for the pediatric patient. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two methods of selection used clinically: (1) the traditional age-based (AB) formula; (age in years +16) divided by 4, and (2) the method based on body length using the Broselow pediatric resuscitation ...
