Airway pressure device for use in MRI machine
Project Overview
Our client Dr. Haughton is currently studying CSF flow during Valsalva maneuvers performed by children with Chiari I malformations. Current research suggests that CSF flow decreases during Valsalva maneuvers in these patients. The airway pressure device would help monitor the exhalation force exerted by each child during a Valsalva maneuver in the MR suite. Knowing the pressure exerted by each patient in the study would be extremely beneficial for data analysis and accuracy.
