Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Pediatric airway disorder management requires precise outcome quantification.
  • Existing methods for measuring airway dimensions have limitations.
  • Development of accessible, accurate measurement techniques is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel technique for characterizing endoscopic airway dimensions.
  • To improve the objective quantification of outcomes for pediatric airway interventions.
  • To utilize common bronchoscopic equipment and open-source image processing.

Main Methods:

  • Endoscopic Airway Measurement (EAM) technique validated in simulation tracheas.
  • EAM evaluated in a large animal model (Ovis aries, n=5).
  • Tracheal dimensions measured by EAM compared to 3-D fluoroscopic reconstruction and direct measurements of resected segments.

Main Results:

  • EAM showed a mean difference of 0.70 ± 0.57 mm in simulation tracheas compared to direct measurements.
  • Excised ovine tracheas averaged 18.54 ± 0.68 mm in diameter.
  • EAM (4.98 ± 2.43%) and 3-D fluoroscopy (10.74 ± 4.07%) showed no statistical significance compared to direct measurements of resected trachea.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic Airway Measurement (EAM) provides accurate and equivalent airway measurements.
  • EAM offers enhanced versatility for non-circular and multi-level airway dimensions.
  • This accessible technique supports preclinical and clinical translation for objective airway quantification.
