描述了一种用于估计元音产生过程中喉部气道阻力的无创临床方法。阻力是根据经喉压力与经喉流量的比率计算的，第一个阻力是根据口腔压力的测量确定的，第二个阻力是根据在产生专门设计的话语期间进行的气道开放流量的测量确定的。将该方法应用于元音研究，计算出 15 名正常成年男性的平均喉部气道阻力为 35.7 cm H2O/LPS。该电阻值与之前使用复杂的侵入性实验方法的研究中获得的平均值非常相似。该方法的临床应用通过案例研究进行了说明，突出了评估和管理潜力。显然，该方法具有临床实用性，提供的数据有效可靠，有望成为估计元音发音过程中喉部气道阻力的常规临床工具。
A noninvasive clinical method for estimating laryngeal airway resistance during vowel production is described. Resistance is calculated from the ratio of translaryngeal pressure to translaryngeal flow, the 1st determined from measurement of oral pressure and the 2nd determined from measurement of airway-opening flow made during the production of a specially designed utterance. Application of the method to the study of vowels resulted in a calculated mean laryngeal airway resistance of 35.7 cm H2O/LPS for 15 normal adult males. This resistance value is remarkably similar to mean values obtained in previous research using complex invasive experimental methods. Clinical use of the method is illustrated in case studies that highlight both evaluation and management potentials. Apparently the method proposed is clinically practical, the data it provides are both valid and reliable, and the method shows great promise of becoming a routine clinical tool for estimating laryngeal airway resistance during vowel production.
