 == <u>Pediatric Airway Diameters</u> ==
-* Average neonatal trachea has an AP diameter of about 4.3 mm for both males & females Trachea grows uniformly in males and females to about 14 mm at the age of 15 yrs old  At this time, female trachea stops growing, but male trachea continues to grow to 16–18 mm by age of 19.  trachea is elliptical in shape, with the transverse diameter being larger than AP diameter  Sizing of airway devices should be based on the smaller (anteroposterior) diameter.
