Static lung compliance is perhaps the most sensitive parameter for the detection of abnormal pulmonary mechanics.

Mice that survive this initial onslaught go on to demonstrate an increase in lung collagen content, and decreased lung compliance.

Measurement of transpulmonary pressure assists in spirometry in availing for calculation of static lung compliance.

It is important to note that ARDS is a disease of altered lung compliance.

Static lung compliance is the change in volume for any given applied pressure.

Dynamic compliance is always less than or equal to static lung compliance.

The increased fluid in the lungs leads to increased airway resistance and reduced lung compliance.

Elastic recoil is inversely related to lung compliance.

Peak airway pressure varies from breath-to-breath according to changes in the patient's airway resistance and lung compliance.

Alterations in airway resistance, lung compliance and chest wall compliance influence C.
