Respiratory mechanics: modelling, measurement and clinical applications—a review [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLineThe mechanical properties of the airways significantly impact respiration, and estimating respiratory mechanics provides important insights for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Here,

Measuring Airway Obstruction in Severe Asthma in Children
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018 Lung function is an important tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with asthma at all ages. Airway obstruction is a typical feature of asthma and it can be assessed with several lung function techniques. Spirometry, respiratory resistance and

Post-Operative Respiratory Resistance [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1977 Respiratory resistance was studied pre-operatively and post-operatively in a group of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Respiratory resistance was shown to be markedly increased post-operatively in patients with chronic bronchitis and slightly increased in nonbronchitic patients.
