Definition / notes:	When you say 'a nivel de' does it actually mean in, or in the region of?? Or does it depend?? eg. sin alteraciones en traquea ni bronquios ni a nivel del esófago Answerer: It depends. Here "sin alteraciones en traquea ni bronquios ni a nivel del esófago" ...it means "at" or "in". If you're talking however about long organs such as the spine, "a nivel de" may mean "at this particular height" (ex: a nivel de la 4ta vértebra lumbar). ... the 3rd example above should be "at this level", as Trudy pointed out. For the example of the spine: at the level of L4.
