<p><strong>Carbon dioxide (CO</strong><sub><strong>2</strong></sub><strong>) clearance in an upper-airway model during asymmetrical nasal high flow.</strong></p>
<p> The asymmetrical interface generated reverse flow and across the choana, which led to unidirectional purging of expired gas from the upper airways. A slow-motion playback with velocity vectors demonstrates purging of CO<sub>2</sub> via the less occluded nare during expiration.</p>
