State-Dependent Biomechanical Behavior of Oropharyngeal Structures in Apneic and Control Subjects: A Proof-of-Concept Study
{{output}}
Rationale: Apneic individuals have reduced airway caliber during sleep. The biomechanical changes in upper airway anatomy contributing to this airway narrowing are largely unknown. Objectives: We sought to investigate the state-dependent (wake vs. sleep) biome... ...
