Clinical Trial: A Study of Body Fat Distribution and Airway Mechanics in Healthy Adults

U.S., June 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07019831) titled 'A Study of Body Fat Distribution and Airway Mechanics in Healthy Adults' on June 05.

Brief Summary: This study investigates how body fat distribution affects airway closure and lung mechanics in healthy adults. Using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), esophageal manometry, and computed tomography (CT), we aim to characterize how varying BMI and fat topography influence regional ventilation and airway collapse in supine and prone positions. Healthy volunteers with a range of BMIs will undergo a 2-hour imaging session with noninvasive and minimally invasive monitoring.
