OBJECTIVES Outline the various factors affecting airway resistance and correlate it to changes in pulmonary ventilation. Describe the metabolism of surfactant, discuss its significance and relate its deficiency to clinical conditions. Define compliance of the lung and chest wall, illustrate and discuss the compliance curve and describe the effect of surfactant on it. Discuss work of breathing and relate it to clinical conditions.

Physiology Terms Airway resistance is the resistive forces encountered during the mechanical respiratory cycle and is ≤5 cm H2O. Lung compliance describes the ease with which lungs stretch and expand to accommodate a change in volume or pressure. People with high lung compliance have more difficulty with the exhalation process while those with low compliance have difficulty with inhalation. Derecruitment is the loss of gas exchange surface area due to atelectasis. It can be minimized by increasi Lung Compliance, Gas Exchange, Surface Area, Lungs, Change In, Respiratory
