Abstract

The research aimed to present airflow analysis of radiofrequency ablation for asthma therapy by using three-dimensional finite element method. We study a solution for asthma therapy by using radiofrequency ablation method. Airflow is main factor for asthma therapy. Asthma patients have shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness that influence a daily life of patients. All symptoms cause to die, especially in severe symptom patients. Asthma therapy by using radiofrequency ablation is a new alternative maneuver to the patient and hopefully may extend his lifetime, reduce using of medicines in asthma treatment and also save money on medical care. The simulation results obtained from our three-dimensional finite element method show airflow that will directly affect the temperature distribution by using radiofrequency ablation technique. These simulation results also guide us to develop an advance asthma treatment in the future.
