  • Title: [Measurement of compliance and resistance to respiratory airflow in the course of mechanical ventilation].
    Author: Cantoni A, Palmisano N, Vezzani G.
    Journal: Minerva Anestesiol; 1979 Dec; 45(12):933-48. PubMed ID: 550099.
    Abstract:
    The importance in resuscitation treatment of the measurement of air ways flow resistance and compliance is stressed. In this regard, attention is paid to the possibility of utilizing the automatic respiratory (recording the mouth pressure curve) as an authentic measuring apparatus for these factors. Research into mechanical models and real patients also points to the possibility (seemingly not reported up to now) of measuring expiratory resistance independently and of highlighting air-trapping phenomena.
