A new computational framework for simulating airway resistance, fraction of exhaled nitric oxide, and diffusing capacity for nitric oxide. by Benoit Haut, Cyril Karamaoun, Clément Rigaut

“…Through numerous simulations, we demonstrate the ability of our model to reproduce results from the literature, both for healthy lungs and lungs of patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Such a computational framework, through the possibilities of numerous and rapid tests that it allows, sheds new light on experimental data by providing information on the phenomena that take place in the distal generations of the lungs, which are difficult to access with imaging.…”
