Pediatric static & dynamic lung compliance, what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung compliance: Lung compliance is a measure of the lungs ability to stretch and expand. It is separated into two different measurements, static compliance and dynamic compliance.Static lung compliance is the change in volume for any applied pressure.Dynamic lung compliance is the compliance of the lung during actual movement. I hope the answer helps you understand lung compliance.
