Morphometric examination of the tracheobronchial tree in cases with foreign body aspiration

Objective: Recently, few studies have evaluated bronchial morphometric parameters focusing on length, diameter, or angles. These can be an important indicator in various pathological processes and are essential for simulating the flow of aspiration inspired particle transport. The aim this study is to determine trachea, diameters right left main bronchus, angle carina angulations bronchus; To investigate extent its affects foreign body localization. Methods: In study, pediatric patients under age 18 who came with a history underwent computerized tomography between 2017 2020 were included study. terms age, gender, anatomical localization aspirated body, diameter angle, branching angles bronchus CT. Results: Of cases 13 (56.5%) female 10 (43.5%) male, It was observed that side 12 (52.2%) children, 11 (47.8%) children. mean 5.52±4.86. (RBA) children 39.04 ± 6.68, significantly wider compared RBA (p=0.013). Conclusion: factor affecting bronchus. According results our it has been if less than 37, object will side, 37 degrees above, turn left.
