Sweta Maurya, Anita Tuli

Abstract :

OBJECTIVE :Accurate anatomical knowledge regarding the dimensions of the trachea has immense importance in anesthesiology, reconstructive surgery and other clinical fields. MATERIAL AND METHOD : The study was conducted on trachea of 30 adult human cadavers which were procured from Department of Anatomy of LHMC. The lumen of the trachea will be cut at 3 levels –upper ,middle ,lower. Tracheal diameter will be measured as external transverse diameter, internal transverse diameter and anteroposterior diameter at all 3 levels as mentioned above. RESULTS: The mean of tracheal length was 98.23±9.07mm. The mean of internal transverse diameter at level 1,2,3 was 17.71± 2.07mm, 16.95±1.81mm, 17.31±1.63mm.The mean of internal AP diameters at level 1,2,3 was 14.19± 1.62mm,13.51±1.58mm,13.84±1.58mm.The external transverse diameter at level 1,2,3 was 21.87±3.48mm, 21.68±3.18mm,25.81±3.97mm. The external AP diameter at level 1,2,3 was 17.71± 2.07mm,16.95±1.81mm, 17.31±1.63 mm. CONCLUSION : Tracheoonchial morphometry data will be of use for optimizing surgical & anaesthesiological procedures
