Validation of an automated determination of pulmonary resistance by electrical subtraction

J. M. Drazen, S. H. Loring and R. Regan

An analog computer to determine dynamic pulmonary compliance (C) and pulmonary resistance (R) on a breath-by-breath basis was tested in guinea pigs and dogs. C was determined by dividing volume by transpulmonary pressure at instants of zero flow. R was determined by the method of electrical subtraction at predetermined flows. In both species the computer outputs and the results of direct analysis were in close agreement. In guinea pigs, the device reliably followed the rapid three- to fourfold changes in C and R resulting from histamine infusion. In unanesthetized dogs, the dispersion and mean values of C and R were similar by the two methods.
