Abstract

Nasal mucociliary clearance was measured in healthy young human subjects and tracheal clearance in the experimental animal under a wide variety of conditions. There is a broad range of clearance rates whether at standard ambient conditions (23 degrees C, 50% relative humidity) or in the face of a number of environmental variables. The degree to which those differences are attributable to the effectiveness of ciliary beating or the character of airway secretions is not known. Studies of tracheobronchial secretions simultaneous with clearance measurement in the anaesthetized dog have not yet provided a definite answer. Variations in upper respiratory defence mechanisms may bear some relationship to the aetiology of small airway disease in the lungs.
