1. The pressure volume diagram of the breathing mechanism;Fenn, W.O.;Similar; Respiratory physiology in aviation. Randolph Field, Texas: United The information from the flow-volume curves States Air Force School of Aviation Medicine, suggests that the lungs empty slightly faster during forced expiration in the presence of pleural air or fluid. At first sight this may be surprising, but it could result from a reduction in lung volume disproportionate to any effect on airway function,1954

A standardized breath holding technique for the cliniarguments have been advanced in relation to the maximum flow-volume curves in patients with lung shrinkage from pulmonary fibrosis,'6 and the effects are similar to those of strapping the chest wall of normal subjects.'' In simple terms, if pleural fluid or air effectively reduces the number of functioning cal measurement of the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide;Ogilvie, C.M.; Forster, R.E.; Blakemore, W.S.; Morton, J.W.;J Clin Invest,1957

Lung function: principles and application in compliant lung units, airway size will remain appropriate for the lung recoil pressure but will be inappropriately large for the lung volume, so that volume corrected indices such as the slope of the flow-volume curve appear supranormal.
