Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia: what is the effect of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis?

abstract：:Changes in dynamic lung compliance during inspiration and expiration cannot be modeled accurately with conventional algorithms. We developed a simple method to analyze pressure-volume (P/V) relationships under condition of nonlinearity (APVNL) and tested it in a lung model with known resistance and nonlinear P/V relat...
