The traditional view is that tracheobronchial anatomy determines that an inhaled foreign body is more likely to enter the right main bronchus. This view has been challenged in young children, in whom the distribution of inhaled objects is more evenly distributed between the bronchi. We, therefore, investigated tracheobronchial anatomy relevant to foreign body inhalation in children. One hundred and fifty-six normal pediatric chest radiographs were selected from a large electronic database. Eight groups of radiographs were identified: supine (n=76) and erect; males (n=84) and females; aged |
