Pediatric Laryngeal Dimensions: An Age-Based Analysis

Abstract: In this study of infants and children, the glottis rather than cricoid was the narrowest portion of the pediatric airway. Similar to adults, the pediatric airway is more cylindrical than funnel shaped based on these video bronchoscopic images. Further studies are needed to determine whether these static airway measurements in anesthetized and paralyzed children reflect the dynamic characteristics of the glottis and cricoid in children.

“…In human fetal larynx, on the other hand, males had greater values but there was not statistically significant difference between the sexes (Cicekcibasi et al 2008). The larynges of boys and girls were found to be not different from one another (Dalal et al 2009).…”

“…The shape and dimensions of larynx was investigated in babies aged 1 (Savkovic et al 2010) and children from age 6 months to 13 years (Dalal et al 2009). The morphological development of fetal larynx in fetal life was investigated (Cicekcibasi et al 2008).…”

“…The cuffed tracheal tubes effect on stridor risk, (adjusting for confounders), was non-significant: OR = 2,2; Conf. Interval 95% [0, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]; p = 0,5. Conclusions: The use of cuffed endotracheal tubes did not increase the risk of post-extubation stridor in children.…”

“…Estos beneficios han impulsado la utilización de tubos con cuff en anestesia pediátrica 7 , sin aumentar los efectos adversos, lo que ha sido demostrado en 2 estudios que aportan evidencia de primera categoría 8,9 . Recientemente con el advenimiento de nuevas técnicas diagnósticas 10,11 , se ha cuestionado el paradigma clásico, debido a que las imágenes obtenidas en niños sedados y en ventilación espontánea ubican el punto más estrecho de la laringe en la abertura glótica, sin mayores cambios durante el desarrollo posterior 10 . Pese a lo anterior, aún persiste dudas 12,13,14,15,16 respecto a la seguridad del uso de tubos con cuff.…”

“…Most of the authors consider the subglottis to be the narrowest part of an infants larynx but some authors consider the vocal cords, to be the narrowest part. (3) the morbidity and mortality associated with tracheostomy in children is greater than in adults. (3,4) and the younger the child the greater the risks.…”
