Abstract:The static lung compliance was studied in 57 healthy children, 6 to 14 years old. A new method called ‘end-expiratory-compliance’ (C1EE) has been developed and the results were compared to the data obtained from Zapletal et al. with the ‘static pressure-volume’ curves technique. The advantages of the method are discussed. The static lung compliance of children increases with height. Static lung compliance value is greater than dynamic lung compliance. This difference is discussed. Static recoil pres… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
