A passive quantitative measurement of airway resistance using depth data

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2014
The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the most common cause of serious lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children. RSV often causes increased airway resistance, clinically detected as wheezing by chest auscultation.

Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome

Respiration, 1997
Obstruction of the upper airway may cause arousals resulting in daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disturbances. The upper airway resistance syndrome may easily be overlooked because conventional measurements of oronasal airflow and thoracic and abdominal efforts are not sensitive enough.

Upper airway resistance syndrome

Sleep Medicine Reviews, 1999
This article reviews the clinical picture, diagnosis and management of the upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS). Presently, there is not enough data on key points like the frequency of UARS and the morbidity associated with this condition. Furthermore, the existence of LIARS as an independent sleep disorder and its relation with snoring and ...

Upper-airway resistance syndrome

2011
Publisher Summary Upper-airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is first recognized in children. The description of UARS brought the attention of clinicians to a group of patients that is left undiagnosed and untreated despite severe impairment. It indicated that they had to identify this clinical entity as many had been denied proper treatment based on ...

Airway resistance and characterization of airway obstruction

Monitoring airway disease, 2021
Background: Airway obstruction occurs due to an increase in airway resistance, so the determination of Raw must be considered for the evaluation of its presence and severity classification especially in individuals with difficultty to perform forced maneuvres.

Measurement of nasal airway resistance

Journal of Allergy, 1965
Abstract A measure of nasal airway resistance can be obtained by simultaneously relating transnasal pressure drop and the rate of nasal air flow. Resistance varies continuously throughout the range of attainable flows, and it has meaning only in relationship to specified rates of flow at which it is measured. The procedure described appears to provide

Plethysmographic specific airway resistance

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2006
sRaw measurements are feasible in children from 2 years of age. sRaw allows clinical monitoring and research during this critical period of growth and development in early life. sRaw measurements promise to bridge the gap of lung function measurements between infancy and school age.

Peripheral Airways Resistance in Smokers

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1992
To determine peripheral airways resistance (Rp) in asymptomatic smokers, we used a wedged bronchoscope technique to study 19 volunteers (18 to 44 yr of age) who actively smoked for 2 to 28 pack-years. A fiberoptic bronchoscope was wedged in a subsegmental bronchus of the right upper lobe.

Airway Resistance during Esophageal Phonation

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1982
Prosthesis airway resistance calculations were completed for five Blom-Singer prostheses and esophageal source airway resistance estimated were made of five laryngectomized patients using the Singer-Blom voice restoration method. Airway resistance of the Blom-Singer prostheses ranged from 46 to 121 cmH 2 O/LPS ...

The Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome

Chest, 1999
The upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a recently described form of sleep-disordered breathing in which repetitive increases in resistance to airflow within the upper airway lead to brief arousals and daytime somnolence. This review will first describe the chronological progression of our understanding of UARS within the broader context of ...
