Concept of "Work Breathing" Flashcards
1
Q
3-D work
A
Area enclosed by PV integration
2
Q
Dynamic vs. static PV curves
A
Dynamic is normal but static is extremely slow breathing
3
Q
Restrictive breathing differences in work
A
More work needed to overcome lung elasticity during inspiration
4
Q
Obstructive differences
A
More work needed to overcome airway resistance during both inspiration AND expiration…muscles must generate work in order to overcome excessive airway resistance
