This model predicts that changes in the box size (pharyngeal bony enclosure size anatomically defined as cross-sectional area bounded by the inside edge of bony structures such as the mandible, maxilla, and spine, and being perpendicular to the airway) influence patency of the tube. We examined whether changes in the bony enclosure size either with head positioning or bite opening influence collapsibility of the pharyngeal airway. Static mechanical properties of the passive pharynx were evaluated in anesthetized, paralyzed patients with sleep-disordered breathing before and during neck extension with bite closure ( n = 11), neck flexion with bite closure ( n = 9), and neutral neck position with bite opening ( n = 11). Neck extension significantly increased maximum oropharyngeal airway size and decreased closing pressures of the velopharynx and oropharynx. Notably, neck extension significantly decreased compliance of the oropharyngeal airway wall. Neck flexion and bite opening decreased maximum oropharyngeal airway size and increased closing pressure of the velopharynx and oropharynx. Our results indicate the importance of neck and mandibular position for determining patency and collapsibility of the passive pharynx. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/japplphysiol.00907.2003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,3,16]],"date-time":"2004-03-16T01:45:11Z","timestamp":1079401511000},"page":"339-346","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":121,"title":["Influences of head positions and bite opening on collapsibility of the passive pharynx"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Shiroh","family":"Isono","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atsuko","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yugo","family":"Tagaito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teruhiko","family":"Ishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Nishino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/147.1.50"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jappl.1991.71.6.2267"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jappl.1997.82.4.1319"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199905000-00016"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.162.3.9911089"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/japplphysiol.00402.2003"},{"key":"R7","unstructured":"Kuna S and Remmers JE.
