Characterization of Aerosol Deposition in Children and Infants Using Idealized Extrathoracic Geometries
DownloadFall 2014
This thesis describes a number of experimental studies performed with the common goal of characterizing pharmaceutical aerosol deposition in children and infants using idealized extrathoracic geometries. First, an in vitro study of the recently proposed Alberta Idealized Child Throat showed that...

Fall 2014
Infant face and throat replicas are used in research laboratories to compare the effectiveness of different valved holding chamber and face mask designs. The use of soft face models is thought to provide a better representation of mask dead volume and face mask seal than hard face models....

Measurements of Total Aerosol Deposition and Validation of Airway Resistance Models in Anatomically Realistic Intrathoracic Conducting Airway Replicas of Children
DownloadSpring 2015
Akhavan Taheri Borojeni, Azadeh
One objective of this research was to obtain a correlation that quantitatively predicts micrometer-sized aerosol particle deposition in the upper conducting airways (trachea to generation 3) of children. Experiments were conducted using steady inhalation air flow rates to measure the deposition...

Evolving In Vitro and In Silico Methods for Predicting Performance in Respiratory Drug Delivery Applications
DownloadSpring 2022
The overarching theme of this work is the investigation and development of in vitro and in silico methods used to characterize inhaled pharmaceutical aerosols. The ultimate aim is to expand and strengthen the links between applied science and clinical practice for inhaled medications. Chapter 1...
