		Windpipe defects in humans are rare, but life-threatening - requiring immediate surgery to cut the risk of neurological complications.
		Once the grafts had matured they were used to reconstruct defective windpipes in seven foetal lambs.
		Lead researcher Dr Dario Fauza said the windpipe is not needed before birth, so this would be an ideal time to carry out repairs.

	Pedal Pushers Online \| The Windpipe: A hydration pack dryer, reviewed
		The windpipe is a simple device used to dry out the bladder found in hydration packs.
		For people that use sport drink mixes or put Gatorade in their packs this becomes important so that mold and gross stuff doesn't grow and fester in the residual moisture.To use the windpipe you simply remove the bite valve from the drink tube and empty as much of the water out as possible.
		I do not see myself using the windpipe on a regular basis but as we covered early and upfront, I'm gross and lazy when it comes to upkeep on my gear.

	Native American Legends - The Magic Windpipe - Arikara
		She waved the windpipe over the smoke, and turned the small end down, and some dust fell out on the floor.
		After that she put the windpipe into the magic bundle and hung it again on the wall.
		That night, when she was asleep, he lifted down the magic bundle from the wall, and, opening it, took out the windpipe and ran away fast toward the north.

	Teresh's Home Page - Machi
		The machi windpipe extends downward from the neck region beneath the thoracic carapace, issuing at the juncture between thorax and abdomen.
		At the top of the windpipe is an epiglottal flap, perhaps intended originally to seal the windpipe from the entry of water as the proto-machi foraged in the shallow seas of Amaterasu.
		Since the windpipe and stomae of machi are never identical in size or location, in theory derived pitches would also vary, but in practice the machi unconsciously modify their pitches to bring them into a standard scale for their fundamental pitch.

	Why a Stoma? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The tube in the front is the windpipe or trachea, which leads to the lungs for transport of air.
		It is open to let air move from the mouth or nose down into the windpipe and to the lungs and then back out.
		But if the entire larynx must be removed, the only way (currently) to allow you to safely swallow again, is to disconnect the windpipe from the mouth by taking the windpipe and ending it in the neck (stoma).

	ICU-USA - Tour - Tracheostomy
		A tracheostomy tube may be needed for ICU patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation, patients unable to cough effectively to clear secretions, and patients with an obstructed or blocked airway.
		Subsequently, an incision is made in the windpipe (trachea) and the tracheostomy tube is inserted.
		The percutaneous technique involves the formation of a small opening in the trachea that is gradually dilated to the size of the tracheostomy tube.

		Hassan was suffering from a narrowed windpipe below the larynx since his birth -- a condition called congenital subglottic stenosis, which is both rare and difficult to treat in children.
		Kameswaran said the disorder was rare in children and the complexity of the surgery depended on the length of the narrow segment of the windpipe.
		Hassan's narrowed windpipe was 1.5 cm long, which took a complicated widening process.

	BBC NEWS \| Health \| Surgeons save 'miracle' baby
		Doctors say that, if the windpipe had not been cleared, the baby would have died when its umbilical cord, which provides it with oxygen and nutrients, was cut on birth.
		To remove the windpipe blockage, they performed a tracheotomy on the baby, inserting a tube in its neck to clear the airway.
		Dr Harrison found that plugging up or clipping the windpipe could stop this from happening, but he had to ensure the windpipe was unblocked at birth to prevent choking.

	Bacteria Grab a Windpipe and Hold It Hostage - Boston.com
		An inflammation of the cartilage covering the windpipe, the disease is most common in children 2 to 6, I learned, an age range that Nathan passed about 30 years ago.
		The doctor said that it was in fact epiglottitis and that Nathan's symptoms were advanced and severe, adding, "If we sedate him and intubate him within the next 10 minutes, the chances of this being fatal are 1 in 100,000."
		The intubation, he said, would ensure that his windpipe would remain open and that Nathan could breathe while being given antibiotics.

	Looking at Your Lungs
		At the bottom of the trachea (say: tray-kee-uh), or windpipe, there are two large tubes.
		At the same time, you inhale air through your mouth or nose, and the air heads down your trachea, or windpipe.
		On the way down the windpipe, tiny hairs called cilia (say: sill-ee-uh) move gently to keep mucus and dirt out of the lungs.

		A common example is croup, which happens when a virus attacks the larynx and windpipe.
		There are several folds and ridges at the back of the nose, on the way to the throat and windpipe, which are covered with mucous membranes.
		As the air we breathe passes over these folds and ridges, it is humidified by evaporating water from the membranes and mucus, and many of the dust particles present in the inhaled air stick to the mucus so they cannot continue to the lungs.

	Tracheotomy
		A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea).
		The patient's windpipe may be blocked by a swelling; by a severe injury to the neck, nose or mouth; by a large foreign object; by paralysis of the throat muscles; or by a tumor.
		The windpipe itself may become damaged for a number of reasons, including pressure from the tube; bacteria that cause infections and form scar tissue; or friction from a tube that moves too much.

	Trachea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In terrestrial invertebrates, such as onychophorans and insects, tracheae conduct air from outside the organism directly to all internal tissues.
		The trachea, or windpipe, is a tube extending from the larynx to the bronchi in mammals, and from the pharynx to the syrinx in birds, carrying air to the lungs.
		It is lined with ciliated cells which push particles out, and cartilage rings which reinforce the trachea and prevent it from collapsing on itself during breathing.

	Windpipe definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Windpipe: The trachea, a tube-like portion of the respiratory (breathing) tract that connects the larynx (the voicebox) with the bronchial parts of the lungs.
		The openings of the esophagus and the larynx are very close together in the throat.
		The windpipe has also been called the weasand (sometimes written wesand or wezand) or wesil.

		Also, in the mornings especially, it feels like my "windpipe" below my thyroid area is closing up and restricted, and I have this persistant cough basically all day and sometimes cough up a yellow/greenish mucus.
		In some circumstances the compression of the windpipe by a tumor or blood vessels may actually ease with exercise.
		Special attention should be paid to the size of your airways and compression from the outside of the windpipe.

	Pick's Disease Support Group - Swallowing Problems Fact Sheet
		The pharynx divides into two near the top: the tube at the front is the windpipe which goes to the lungs; and the tube at the back goes to the stomach (oesophagus).
		The tongue squeezes the food or liquid to the back of the mouth and the swallow reflex is triggered: the windpipe is closed off and food/liquid is passed through the back of the throat, down to the stomach, and then the windpipe opens again.
		This is the movement of food from the lower part of the throat, through the gullet (oesophagus) to the stomach, assisted by a continuation of the peristaltic wave.

	Tracheomalacia, Respironics
		When this happens to the fetus’s windpipe, or trachea, by the time the mother gives birth, the infant may suffer from a condition called tracheomalacia (pronounced TRAY-key-o-mal-AY-shea), which means that the walls of the windpipe are floppy or weak.
		Rings of cartilage run along the length of the trachea, and these rings support the trachea keeping it open during breathing.
		Because the windpipe’s walls are weak in those with tracheomalacia, the walls collapse during breathing.

	Stridor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The trachea, or windpipe, may be compressed by another structure (an artery or vein) around the outside.
		(The epiglottis is an elastic cartilage structure at the root of the tongue that prevents food from entering the windpipe when swallowing.) This causes breathing problems that can progressively worsen which may, ultimately, lead to airway obstruction.
		For example, a coin in the trachea (windpipe) may close off breathing passages and result in suffocation and death.
