MECHANICS
1) resistance equation
2) most respiratory resistance

Chest wall (25%), airway (55%), lung tissue (20%)

29
Q

What part of the respiratory system has the most resistance?

A

About 50% of airway resistance is due to nasal resistance

30
Q

Poiseuille’s Law

A

31
Q

What happens to the resistance if the diameter of an ETT increases from 2 to 4 mm

A

If the diameter goes from 2 to 4 than the radius will increase from 1 to 2. And the resistance will be 16 times less because resistance is indirectly proportional to r ^ 4.

32
Q

Compliance equation

Elastance equation

A

C=changing vol / changing pressure
-Compliance is the slope of the volume pressure curve

E= changing pressure / changing vol
-elastance is inverse of compliance

33
Q

How does compliance differ from neonates to adults?

A

Greater chest wall compliance because bones are more Cartlidge and soft and compliant compared to hard adult ribs.

34
Q

A

1) premature infants, have more compliant lungs

2) sentence with RDS have stiffer lungs. Flat volume pressure curve. Less compliant lungs

35
Q

MECHANICS
What happens to compliance at both high and low lung volumes?

A

Compliance decreases because very small volume changes require large pressure changes.

36
Q
