The effect of nasal and oral breathing on airway collapsibility in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: Computational fluid dynamics analyses.
OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of breathing route on the collapsibility of the pharyngeal airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea by using computational fluid dynamics technology. METHODS:This study examined Japanese men with obstructive sleep apnea. Comput...
