Estimating the Diameter of the Left Main Bronchus [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 2000 Two hundred and six standard PA chest X-rays were measured. The mean diameter of the left main bronchus (LMB) was 12.6±1.9 mm. The mean diameter of the 92 male LMB was 13.0±2.6, and for females 11.8±1.6. These data correspond closely to that reported by others.
