1902G. B. Howes in Rep. Brit. Assoc. 624 The respiratory process in the bird may be defined as transpulmonary. 1957Jrnl. Appl. Physiol. X. 191/1 Measurements of the mechanical properties of the lungs depend on the separation of transpulmonary pressure into separate elastic and flow-resistive components. 1977Lancet 3 Sept. 510/1 When airway collapse does occur, transpulmonary pressure rapidly increases with only a small resultant increase in inspiratory gasflow. |
