Background: Pediatric anesthesia is a challenging aspect for the Anesthesiologists, the size of ET required for the child is calculated by a standard formula, which considers the age of patient. Present study was attempted to know the applicability of “Broselow tape” for the estimation of weight and endotracheal tube size in Indian children. Material and Methods: Present study was cross-sectional study, conducted in children aged 1 month to 10 years including both genders, ASA Grade I or II, undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation. Length of the child was recorded with the Broselow Paediatric Emergency tape. We correlated the sizes of endotracheal tube estimated by Broselow tape to actual size of endotracheal tube used.
