Distances (approx.) 5.9 in. (15 cm) 7.9 in. (20 cm) 11.8 in. (30 cm) Length (approx.) Diameter (approx.) Adults 4.5 in. (11.4 cm) 1 in. (2.5 cm) Infants 1.6 2 in. (4 5 cm) As small as 3 mm b a Extension of the head and neck, as when maintaining an airway in an anesthetized patient, may stretch the trachea and increase its length by 25%. In the adult, the carina may descend by as much as 3 cm on deep inspiration. At the carina, the right bronchus leaves the trachea at an angle of 25 from the vertical and the left bronchus leaves the trachea at an angle of 45 from the vertical. In children younger than 3 years, both bronchi arise from the trachea at equal angles. b As children grow, the diameter in millimeters corresponds approximately to their age in years.
