Non-invasive measurement of respiratory mechanics and work of breathing
The mechanical properties of the respiratory system such as resistance, elastance and mechanical work of breathing are rarely measured directly but are inferred from the effect of respiratory disease on maximal lung volumes and flows. Although such tests have proved very useful, they have shortcomin...
