Flow limitation during forced expiration in an airway model

Login for More InformationDevelop a human large airway model that sufficiently demonstrates the ideas of flow limitation at the equal pressure point.
Project Overview
Dr. Chris Green, a pediatric pulmonology and sleep medicine specialist at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, has tasked the group with developing a model to represent flow limitation in the human airway during forced expiration. Flow limitation is a key concept in spirometry, a diagnostic tool used to assess lung health. It minimizes variability in test results, allowing for more accurate measurements of lung capacity and function. The model must illustrate how the flow-limiting segment moves through the bronchial tract toward the alveoli during forced expiration.
