Tracheal Mechanics During Bronchoscopy

Brief Summary

      The main purpose of this study is use a new type of measurement to help decide what kind of
      therapy would help people with a collapsing windpipe or tracheomalacia.

Detailed Description

      This study is to obtain new information about the pressures required to collapse the trachea
      in patients with and without obstructive pulmonary disease and to describe the relationship
      between pressures and airflow obstruction. This information will provide normative data not
      currently available and would establish whether tracheal collapse is due to tracheomalacia.
      The data may lead to better ways of predicting if a patient would benefit from procedures to
      prevent tracheal collapse.

Study Type

Observational

Condition
