Upper Airway Collapsibility

Upper Airway Collapsibility is a physiological construct representing the intrinsic predisposition of the upper airway to narrow or occlude under negative intraluminal pressure during sleep, distinguishing it from other respiratory control or ventilatory effort measures in the pathogenesis of sleep-related breathing disorders.
