Bronchial thermoplasty reduces airway resistance [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2020 Background The mechanism for symptomatic improvement after bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is unclear, since spirometry reveals little or no change. In this study, the effects of BT on airway resistance were examined using two independent techniques. Methods

Methods of Airway Resistance Assessment
Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2016 Airway resistance is the ratio of driving pressure to the rate of the airflow in the airways. The most frequent methods used to measure airway resistance are whole-body plethysmography, the interrupter technique and the forced oscillation technique.

Upper airway resistance during use of a laryngeal mask airway is flow-dependent and dominated by the laryngeal resistance [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDuring use of a laryngeal mask airway, resistance of the device and larynx contribute to the upper airway resistance. Detailed understanding of this combined resistance is crucial to support spontaneously breathing patients appropriately or to take the ...

Assessing change in airway calibre‐measurement of airway resistance. [PDF]
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1979 The need for tests to assess bronchodilatation or bronchoconstriction is of considerable importance in respiratory pharmacology. It can be approached either by measuring flow during conditions of maximal effort as discussed in the previous paper or by measurements of airway resistance under low flow conditions.

The Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome [PDF]
Respiration, 2012 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been recognized as a major public health problem. Both its cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities and symptoms motivate for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The main stimulus associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and explaining deleterious consequences is intermittent hypoxia.

Air pollution and airway resistance at age 8 years - the PIAMA birth cohort study. [PDF]
Environ Health, 2018 Air pollution has been found to adversely affect children's lung function. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity from spirometry have been studied most frequently, but measurements of airway resistance may provide additional ...

Linking ventilation heterogeneity quantified via hyperpolarized He-3 MRI to dynamic lung mechanics and airway hyperresponsiveness [PDF]
, 2015 Advancements in hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI (HP 3He-MRI) have introduced the ability to render and quantify ventilation patterns throughout the anatomic regions of the lung. The goal of this study was to establish how ventilation heterogeneity relates to
