摘要： Described herein are adjustable-resistance respiratory devices, and particularly nasal devices that have an adjustable expiratory resistance while providing a greater resistance to exhalation than to inhalation. The resistance to exhalation may be manually adjustable by a user or remotely adjustable by a third party. For example, described herein are nasal devices having a greater resistance to exhalation than inhalation that includes one or more resistance-modifying members for modifying the resistance of a nasal device. A resistance modifying member may include a cover, a shutter or an adjustable valve for opening/closing a leak pathway through the nasal device. An adjustable-resistance nasal respiratory device may include a control or controls for adjusting the resistance to exhalation. Methods of adjusting the resistance of a nasal device, and systems including nasal devices allowing the resistance to be optimized and/or adjusted are also described.

摘要翻译： 这里描述的是可调节阻力的呼吸装置，特别是具有可调节呼气阻力同时提供比吸入更大的呼气阻力的鼻部装置。 呼气阻力可由用户手动调节或由第三方进行远程调节。 例如，本文所述是具有比吸入更大的抵抗呼气的鼻装置，其包括用于改变鼻装置的电阻的一个或多个电阻修饰构件。 阻力调节构件可以包括用于打开/关闭穿过鼻部装置的泄漏路径的盖，快门或可调节阀。 可调电阻鼻呼吸装置可以包括用于调节呼气阻力的控制或控制。 还描述了调节鼻装置的电阻的方法，以及允许电阻优化和/或调节的包括鼻装置的系统。
