Alveolar Tissue Fiber and Surfactant Effects on Lung Mechanics—Model Development and Validation on ARDS and IPF Patients

Alveolar Tissue Fiber and Surfactant Effects on Lung Mechanics—Model Development and Validation on ARDS and IPF Patients

<italic>Goal:</italic> Alveolar compliance is a main determinant of lung airflow. The compliance of the alveoli is a function of their tissue fiber elasticity, fiber volume, and surface tension. The compliance varies during respiration because of the nonlinear nature of fiber elasticity...
