The Influence of Posture on Airway Diameter, Resistance and Airflow Distribution in Healthy Subjects

NCT01893697 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 5

Last updated 2015-05-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

FRI could give the opportunity to investigate the possible effect of a lateral posture on airway diameter and airflow distributions. This physiological study in healthy subjects may help to identify the role of positioning as an aid in airway clearance techniques for patients with respiratory diseases.
