Learning Curve of Ultrasound Measurement of Subglottic Diameter for Endotracheal Tube Selection in Pediatric Patients.

CONCLUSION: Learning curves constructed with CUSUM analysis in this study showed that only 62.5% of residents were able to correctly predict cuffed endotracheal tube size with 80% success rate. Considerable variability in achieving competency necessitates objective follow-up of individual improvement. PMID: 31583796 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
