Diseases of the larynx and trachea are a heterogenous group of disorders. Their diagnosis frequently requires invasive methods. Ultrasound is a non-invasive, repeatable and safe diagnostic method, which has recently, thanks to the development of technology, provided for very accurate imaging of even small structures, as well as their assessment on dynamic examination. Ultrasound examination of the larynx and trachea will be performed in 2022-2023 in a group of randomly selected 300 stable neonates born between 32 and 42 weeks of gestation. The results of this study will be presented after data collection in accordance with the adopted methodology. To date, this will be the first study to describe the ultrasound anatomy of the larynx and trachea and to establish reference ranges for the size of individual structures of the larynx and trachea in the neonatal population. We expect that our study will contribute to the further development of this part of ultrasonography and will reduce the number of invasive procedures performed in the diagnostics of these organs in the future.

喉与气管疾病是一组异质性疾病。其诊断常常需要采用侵入性方法。超声是一种非侵入性、可重复且安全的诊断方法，由于技术的发展，它近来甚至能够对微小结构进行非常精确的成像，还能在动态检查中对其进行评估。2022年至2023年，将对一组随机选取的300名妊娠32至42周出生的稳定新生儿进行喉与气管的超声检查。本研究结果将在按照所采用的方法收集数据后予以呈现。迄今为止，这将是第一项描述喉与气管超声解剖结构并确立新生儿群体中喉与气管各结构大小参考范围的研究。我们预计，我们的研究将有助于这部分超声检查技术的进一步发展，并在未来减少这些器官诊断中所进行的侵入性操作的数量。本手稿是一项在ClinicalTrials.gov注册的研究方案（标识符NCT05636410），并获得了华沙医科大学伦理委员会（KB 65/A2022）的批准。
