Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Purpose of research: During intubation endobronchial intubation is the most common malposition encountered. Auscultation shows a sensitivity of only 60% in determining bronchial vs tracheal intubation. Therefore ultrasound which is relatively a new technique for ETT confirmation serves as a real time diagnostic tool with rapid and accurate results.

Design: prospective non randomised controlled trial

Participants: age 3 to 6 years satisfying inclusion criteria

Intervention: intubation done by Anesthesia resident.
                     Primary anaesthesiologist evaluates breath sounds bilaterally by chest auscultation 
                     Second anaesthesiologist evaluates lung sliding sign using USG 

Main outcome measures: primary outcome will be superiority of USG over chest auscultation in confirming endotracheal tube placement. The secondary outcome will be the incidence of oesophageal vs bronchial intubation.
