Morphometry of human trachea in male and female using computerized tomography- a comparative study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Tracheal anatomy is useful for clinicians to select correct size of endotracheal tube. The study can be done by both invasive and non-invasive techniques like cadaveric dissection(CD), Computed Tomography (CT) scan. In present study we measured diameter, length, cross sectional area, volume of human trachea on CT scan images and the data was compared with that of the other studies. Method: In this prospective study normal chest CT scan images of 110 cases (69 males and 41 females) were studied. Chest CT scans were performed on 64 slice CT scanner. Measurements were obtained using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) software. The minimum and maximum values in study population were established for each parameter. The relationship of all study parameters with height and weight was assessed using Pearson’s correlation. The regression analysis of significantly correlating variables was done with height and weight as predictors. Results: In males: Height correlated significantly with A-P diameter and transverse diameter & Weight correlated significantly with A-P diameter and CSA.
