Determination of Tissue, Airway and Total Resistance to Respiration in Cats

Alfred W. Brody 1 and Arthur B. DuBois 1

Tissue resistance has been directly measured in a group of cats and found to vary from 1.3 to 3.3 cm H2O/l/sec. The average value of 2.55 cm H2O/l/sec. amounted to an average of 28% of the total resistance. This agrees well with the figure of 69% for airway resistance obtained using a different method. Neither method depends on changing the viscosity or the density of the gases breathed.
