Computational Modelling of Cough Function and Airway Penetrant Behavior in Patients with Disorders of Laryngeal Function

摘要

Objective/HypothesisPatients with laryngeal disorders often exhibit changes to cough function contributing to aspiration episodes. Two primary cough variables (peak cough flow: PCF and compression phase duration: CPD) were examined within a biomechanical model to determine their impact on characteristics that impact airway compromise.
