Emphysematous destruction
Ting et al studied isolated bullae after resection and found that bullae were very compliant with a sharp elastic limit and that the inflation pressures for bullae are less than they are for surroundi...
Lung Volume
The 3-year curve showed decreased maximal recoil pressure compared with 3 months, but it was still greater than it was before the LVRS. Static recoil-maximum flow curves (Fig 2, right, B) demonstrated...
