Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to compare the ultrasound-guidance versus auscultation to confirm optimal insertion depth of the cuffless oral Ring-Adair-Elwyn (RAE) endotracheal tube in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound-guided detection of endobronchial intubation depth by loss of lung sliding sign in the left lung field

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ultrasound-guided determination of cuffless RAE tube depth

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

1. Measurement of "Carina-T2 mid-vertebra length" from preoperative Cheat PA
2. Ultrasound-guided detection of endobronchial intubation depth by loss of lung sliding sign in the left lung field.
3. Withdrawal of the cuffless RAE tube using the "Carina-T2 mid-vertebra length" for optimal positioning

Auscultation

Auscultation-guided detection of endobronchial intubation depth by loss of breathing sound in the left lung field

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Auscultation-guided determination of cuffless RAE tube depth

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

1. Measurement of "Carina-T2 mid-vertebra length" from preoperative Cheat PA
2. Auscultation-guided detection of endobronchial intubation depth by loss of breathing sound in the left lung field
3. Withdrawal of the cuffless RAE tube using the "Carina-T2 mid-vertebra length" for optimal positioning
