Saliva production and surface tension: influences on patency of the passive upper airway

Pharyngeal patency is influenced by the surface tension (γ) of the upper airway lining liquid (UAL), of which saliva is a major component. We investigated the influences of saliva production on γ of the UAL, and upper airway re-opening and closing pressures. In 10 supine, male, anaesthetized, trache...
