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...
