Measuring lung mechanics of expiratory tidal breathing with non-invasive breath occlusion	2020-05-14		.txt	text/plain	3894	263	55	Currently, there are no commonly practiced methods to non-invasively measure both resistive and elastic lung mechanics during tidal breathing, preventing the important information provided by lung mechanics from being utilised. This study presents a novel method to easily assess lung mechanics of spontaneously breathing subjects using a dynamic elastance, single-compartment lung model. The lung mechanics measured were respiratory system elastance and resistance, separated from the exponentially decaying flow, and interrupter resistance calculated at shutter closure. CONCLUSIONS: This test was able to identify reasonable dynamic lung elastance and occlusion resistance values, providing new insight into expiratory breathing effort. Lung elastance calculated at shutter opening is presented in Table 2 , and the effect of added resistance on elastance is shown in Fig. 5 . As a result, monitoring decay rate of flow in response to shuttering or other pressure impulses only gives information on lung elastance.	./cache/cord-011345-w0ke1tqz.txt	./txt/cord-011345-w0ke1tqz.txt
