“…In a study of the horse, when the trachea is in an unstretched position, the width of the last ring and the number of tracheal rings are larger in males than in females, which is statistically significant (Freitas et al 2001).…”

“…The average length of trachea was indicated as 19. 5 cm in the dog (Dabanoglu et al 2001), 257 mm in red sokoto goat (Byanet et al 2014), 54.1±0.73 cm in Arabian oryx (Al-Zhgoul et al, 2013), 3.74 cm in the young and 3.67 cm in adults Saimiri sciureus (Pinheiro et al 2012), 78.28±4.03 cm males and 75.39±5.27 cm in females horses (Freitas et al 2001). In this study the length of trachea was statistically insignificant between the genders but it was statistically different in horse (Freitas et al 2001).…”

“…Dabanoglu et al (2001) pointed out that the ratio was between 1.14 and 1.25 in the dog's trachea and thus its trachea had an invariable shape all around. The trachea of the horse has an elipsoid shape (Freitas et al 2001). The trachea of Saimiri sciureus is circular at the beginning, oval towards the middle and oval in the middle and towards the tail in young.…”

“…Therefore, it is extremely important to know the morphometry of trachea (Dabanoglu et al 2001). Especially, when endotracheal tube is not properly placed in trachea, affect trachea efficiency (Freitas et al 2001). Several factors affect the shape and dimensions of trachea in mammals.…”

Yeni Zelanda tavşanında larynx ve tracheanın morfometrik özellikleri Eurasian Journal of Veterinary SciencesEurasian J Vet Sci, 2016, 32, 4, 208-213 208 Öz Amaç: Bu çalışma Yeni Zelanda tavşanlarında larynx kıkır-dakları ile trachea'nın morfometrik özelliklerini araştırarak, cinsiyetler arasındaki farklılıkları ortaya koymak amacıyla gerçekleştirildi.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 6 erkek, 6 dişi olmak üzere toplam 12 adet sağlıklı erişkin Yeni Zelanda tavşanı kullanıldı. Baş ve boyun bölgesinin diseksiyonu sonucunda çıkartılan larynx kıkırdakları ve trachea'dan bazı ölçümler alınarak, istatistiki analiz yapıldı. İstatistiki önem P<0.05 düzeyinde belirlendi. Bulgular:Yapılan çalışma sonucunda Yeni Zelanda tavşanla-rında trachea ve larynx'in cinsiyetler arasında istatistiki olarak farklı olmadığı, sadece cartilago thyroidea'nın bazı ölçüm değerlerinde erkek ve dişiler arasında anlamlı fark olduğu tespit edildi.Öneri: Elde edilen bu morfometrik bilgilerin veteriner anatomi bilgi birikimine katkı sağlamasının yanısıra, oluşturula-bilecek olan model ve klinikte teşhis ve tedavi noktasında da bir ışık tutabileceği öngörülmektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Larynx, trachea, morfometri, tavşan AbstractAim: This study was conducted to investigate the morphometric features of the larynx cartilages and trachea in New Zealand rabbits and reveal the differences between sexes. Material and Methods:In the study, the larynx cartilages belonging to a total of 12 healthy and adult New Zealand rabbits of both sexes (6 males, 6 females) were used. Some measurements were taken on the larynx cartilages and trachea, which had been taken out as a result of dissection of the head and neck, and statistical analyses were made. The statistical significance level was established at P<0.05. Results:Although the trachea and laynx related-measurements have no statistical difference between sexes, there was a statistical significance between sexes only in some values concerning the thyroid cartilage. Conclusion:In conclusion, it has been suggested that the results from this study will contribute to the present morphological knowledge on respiratory system and may shed light on the reconstructive anatomy and clinical procedures concerning this system.

Orotracheal intubation in the horse – Is bigger better?

Summary Access to the respiratory tract of an anaesthetised animal is a vital line of life. An endotracheal tube ensures a secure airway that will allow the delivery of anaesthesia and facilitates mechanical ventilation. The case report by Miller and Auckburally (2020) described in this issue highlights the potential complications associated with endotracheal intubation. Intubation using a 30 mm ID endotracheal tube in the average sized horse (500 kg) has been documented to have a high rate of tracheal injury. The manufacturing specifications of endotracheal tubes may contribute to the incidence of tracheal injury. Further research is needed to help minimise the morbidity and potential mortality associated with this anaesthetic procedure.
