Abstract
By using phantom radiographs, the accuracy of tracheal measurements was established. Preterm infants (≤29 weeks) were enrolled in short (<7 days) and prolonged ventilation (≥28 days) groups. Both groups had 3 weight categories, namely, <1000 g, 1000-1999 g, and >2000 g. Tracheal sizes were measured on serial chest radiographs (CXR). We noted tracheomegaly in association with prolonged ventilation at ≥1000 g.
