Prediction of maximum expiratory flow rate from area-transmural pressure curve of compressed airway
(1975)
The site of greatest airway deformation in dog lungs was located during maximum expiratory flow by use of tantalum bronchography, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and airway pressure measurements. A series of area vs. transmural ...
