Trachea


Definition:

  • (n.) The windpipe. See Illust. of Lung.
  • (n.) One of the respiratory tubes of insects and arachnids.
  • (n.) One of the large cells in woody tissue which have spiral, annular, or other markings, and are connected longitudinally so as to form continuous ducts.

  • (6) General anaesthesia with apneic oxygenation may offer the ENT surgeon increased possibilities of exploration and operation at the level of the larynx and trachea, but owing to its biological consequences, it should be used only with circumspection and its indications should be totally justified, for acts of limited duration.
