What We Know (So Far) About Resisted Inspiratory Efforts
Please join Dr. Fiona Bailey as she discusses her research on resisted inspiratory efforts. She will review her previous work which characterized upper airway muscle electromyographic (EMG) activities as a function of voluntary (cortical), state (wake/sleep), and chemoreceptor inputs. She will also discuss recent research which explores inspiratory resistive breathing in healthy adults and in the context of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the efforts she has made to elucidate mechanism/s underlying improvements in blood pressure and vascular function.
