Mechanical properties of the upper airway

M. Cauberghs and K. P. Van de Woestijne

The series and shunt components of the impedance of the upper airway (Zuaw) were evaluated from measurements obtained during a Valsalva maneuver by means of a modified forced oscillation technique. When the cheeks are supported, the upper airway can be represented by a single distributed transmission line. The homogeneity of this line was confirmed by measuring separately Zuaw and the impedance of the mouth. Correction of the impedance of the respiratory system, determined by means of the forced oscillations technique, for the shunt properties of Zuaw results in some modifications of the frequency dependence of resistance (Rrs) in healthy adults and in marked changes of the absolute values of Rrs in children and in patients with obstructive lung disease.
