Intrapleural pressure

Distinguish among atmospheric pressure, alveolar pressure, intrapleural pressure, and transpulmonary pressure... [Pg.239]

Draw and label the axes as shown. Remember the curve should only start to rise from —0.5 kPa on the x axis as the intrapleural pressure within the lung remains negative at tidal volumes. If there were no resistance to breathing, each tidal breath would increase its volume along the theoretical line AC and back again on expiration along the line CA. [Pg.138]

Compliance is defined as the change in volume produced by a unit change in lung elastic recoil pressure and is the most commonly measured index of the elastic properties of the lung. Elastic recoil pressure is the difference between the pressure in the alveolus and the pressure in the pleural space (intrapleural pressure). [Pg.320]
