Assuming that the lung is on the same part of the pressure-volume curve, we conclude that measuring static compliance by the single breath occlusion technique is not necessary to obtain ...

More information may be obtained from determining static lung volumes and DLCO. Most studies on the effects of parental smoking on children and adolescents have quantified any effects on the lungs ...

All patients underwent a comprehensive 1-day evaluation, which included history and physical examination; complete pulmonary function testing (post-bronchodilator spirometry, static lung volumes ...
