Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
A computational study shows for the first time how different parts of the human airway experience levels of pressure and friction from breathing therapy devices. Using a patient-specific 3D airway model derived from CT imaging to simulate how breathing-support therapy behaves inside the human airway, University of Technology Sydney (UTS) researchers found the therapy doesn't affect all parts of the airway equally. The study shows the potential to support the design of better devices and personal
