Clinical Trial: Functional Modeling of the Pediatric Airway
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Predictive Modeling for Treatment of Upper Airway Obstruction in Young Children
Brief Summary: The investigators hypothesize that a functional computational model that simulates the mechanical and aerodynamic behavior of the upper airway in children with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) and laryngeal lesions (e.g. subglottic stenosis or SGS) can be used as an effective diagnostic and treatment planning tool.
