The breathing difficulty experienced by asthmatics occurs because of excessive narrowing in the bronchial tubes or airways. These airways are normally held open by the pressures in the chest during breathing. It is possible that the excessive airway narrowing in asthma occurs because these pressures are no longer effective. This may be due to changes in the airway stiffness which occurs during asthma. The project will involve experts Canada and Australia who have developed new techniques which allow the airways to be seen so that these changes can be measured.

哮喘患者的呼吸困难是由于支气管壁或呼吸道过度狭窄所致。在呼吸过程中，这些呼吸道通常通过胸部的压力保持打开。哮喘患者的过度气道狭窄可能是因为这些压力不再有效。这可能是由于哮喘期间发生的呼吸道僵硬的变化。该项目将涉及加拿大和澳大利亚的专家，他们已经开发出新的技术，可以看到呼吸道，从而可以测量这些变化。
