Patient-ventilator interaction in the long-term acute-care hospital.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Airway remodeling is a characteristic structural change that occurs extensively in the airways of patients with asthma. The change can be evaluated by measuring airway dimensions by using high-resolution computed tomography. This study aimed to explore the variation trends of airway dimensions from the secon...
