Could someone please explain the consequences of low lung compliance. Thank you

Expert Solution

Lung Compliance is the magnitude of the lung volume change generated by a presented change in transpulmonary pressure.

The transpulmonary pressure is higher than normal when lung compliance is low to generate a given amount of lung expansion.

There is a comparatively little difference in lung volume for a given change in Pressure (dV/dP) in the case of low lung compliance. Lesser the lung compliance more is the energy required to produce lung expansion.

People suffering from low lung compliance breathe shallowly and at a higher frequency.

Compliance is inversely proportional to the lung elastic recoil. The lungs are stiff and have a higher than normal level of elastic recoil when the compliance is low.

A stiff lung requires higher than the average change in pleural pressure to alter the lungs volume resulting in difficulty in breathing.

For example- A person with pulmonary fibrosis has low lung compliance.

Can someone please explain these problems, I don't understand, please and thank you!! The patients in the Digoxin trial dataset can be considered a population of people suffering from heart failure. These patients were examined before the drug trial began, and their heart rate and blood pressure were recorded. The mean and standard deviation of the variables are listed below. Each variable follows a normal distribution. Heart rate (beats/min) μ = 78.8 σ = 12.66 Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) μ...
