| Abstract: |
| The upper airway structure containing soft palate organizations of three OSAHS patients with nasal obstruction would be reconstructed to study the airflow distribution and movement of the soft palate before and after surgery using numerical simulation method.The curative effect would be analyzed for the nasal surgery on patients with OSAHS.The degree of nasal obstruction in three patients has been improved after surgery.For two patients with mild OSAHS,the resistance of upper airway and the displacement of soft palate decreases after surgery.These changes are contributing to the mitigation of the respiratory airflow limitation.For the third of patients with severe OSAHS,the resistance of upper airway and the displacement of soft palate actually increased after surgery,which will further increase the degree of airway obstruction.The curative effect of nasal surgery on patients with OSAHS depends on whether the improvement of nasal obstruction benefiting the pharynx.Numerical simulation results match the results of PSG test,chief complaint and clinical findings.It can indirectly reflect the degree of nasal patency and improvement of snoring symptoms which can provide a theoretical basis to solve the clinical problems. |
