Summary

Ambu AuraGain, I-gel, Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway are the most commonly used supraglottic airway. In children, they can be used as intubation conduits. However, there has been no guideline for optimal insertion depth of endotracheal tube through those supraglottic airway. In this study, the investigators will measure the distance from grille of those supraglottic airways to glottis using fiberoptic bronchoscope in children undergoing anesthesia. This distance allows us to predict an appropriate depth of endotracheal tube when it should be inserted through each supraglottic airway.
