“…This case is quite similar to the current study as an air/soft tissue interaction project in human respiratory system. ADINA has been used to simulate FSI mechanisms around the retropalatal region as well (Huang and Rong, 2010;Huang et al, 2007).…”

Background:The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been growing over the last few decades, but the treatment outcome differs from person to person. Interest in patient-specific modeling has increased substantially. The availability of detailed clinical data together with efficient numerical methods has now made the fluid-structure interaction modeling feasible. Methods:The current study uses 3-D two-way fluid-structure interaction to provide simulation results of the sleep apnea symptom in a female patient with severe sleep apnea. A unique suture-patch device is presented and used to virtually apply force to the tongue. Findings:As simulation shows, this device effectively reduced the risk of the upper airway occlusion and opened up the upper airway at the pharynx about 92% of the original area at the peak inhale volume, which will provide a possible treatment for this patient. A parametric study has been added to study the location of the patch. This pilot study may be helpful for further operation, medical treatment plan, and improvement of the curing rate.

“…Pressure data during the apnea episodewhere d d d f and d d ds are the fluid and solid displacement respectively, and τ τ τ f and τ τ τ s are stresses in fluid and solid respectively[17] . The fluid and solid parts are coupled as follows: The fluid nodal positions on the fluid-structure interfaces are determined by the kinematic conditions.…”

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a respiratory disease characterized by the upper airway collapses and reopens repeatedly during sleep. Though the nerve control plays a key role in the upper airway collapse, it has been considered in previous studies only with lumped parameter models. Based on a finite element model including airway and surrounding structures, the effect of nerve control on the upper airway collapse was studied with fluid-structure interaction method. Spring elements were used to simulate the function of the muscle group. The simulation results show that the nerve control reduces the deformation of airway successfully and avoids the risk of OSAS.
