Abstract: A respiratory system model (RSM) is developed for the deflation process of a quasistatic pressure-volume (P-V) curve, following the model for the inflation process reported earlier. In the RSM ...

Abstract: A mechanistic model of the respiratory system is proposed to understand differences in quasistatic pressure-volume (p-V) curves of the inflation process in terms of the alveolar recruitment and ...

Abstract: A normalized P-V curve is proposed for quantitative comparisons of quasistatic P-V curves from different sources, including data from different investigators, airway pressure-volume curves versus ...
