Brief Summary  
Tonsillectomy is one of the commonest surgical procedures performed in pediatric population. Indication of tonsillectomy ranges from recurrent tonsillitis to obstructive sleep apnoea. Management of such patients is often challenging for the anaesthetists, especially in children with obstructive sleep apnoea. The children undergoing tonsillectomy are at increased risk of postoperative respiratory complications. Therefore, It becomes imperative to predict anticipated complications in advance to improve post-operartve outcome. Ultrasound, an easily accessible, non-invasive tool, can be used to measure tonsillar volume in children undergoing tonsillectomy. so, we aim to measure tonsillar volume with ultrasound and correlate it with STUBR ( snoring, trouble-breathing, unrefreshed) score to predict post-operative respiratory complications.
