Measurement of the Distances of the Lower Airway in Pediatric Population

Pediatric patients are exposed to increased risk during general anesthesia. A myriad of problems can be encountered in the pediatric population by misplaced endotracheal tubes. Especially, during one-lung ventilation (OLV) a right-sided or left-sided tube is inserted to facilitate the surgery. However, inadvertent tube use, caused by misinterpretation of the distances of the trachea and the main bronchi, may cause unintended hypoxemia, postoperative atelectasis and even mortality. In this study, investigators will measure the distance between distal margin of right lung upper lobe orifice-carina and carina-lip with the help of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB).
