Measuring lung mechanics of expiratory tidal breathing with non-invasive breath occlusion

Abstract Background and objective Lung mechanics measurements provide clinically useful information about disease progression and lung health. Currently, there are no commonly practiced methods to non-invasively measure both resistive and elastic lung mechanics during tidal breathing, preventing the...
