How do cervical tracheal features vary in OSAHS patients, and what are their clinical implications? Findings: This study found that OSAHS patients exhibit greater caudal tracheal displacement and larger tracheal size compared to healthy controls. Notably, such differentiation must be considered during OSAHS patient airway assessment and management.Meaning: Ultrasonography may be especially suited for precisely evaluating the trachea and can provide a reference for airway assessment and management for OSAHS.
Keywords: cervical trachea, OSAHS, ultrasound, caudal tracheal displacement, breathe
