ABSTRACT
In 9 anesthetized, paralyzed dogs lung and chest-wall standard (viscous resistance, Rint, and quasi-static elastance, Est) and viscoelastic parameters (resistance, Rvel, and time constant, τvel) were measured in the supine posture before and after rib-cage block, after application of an expiratory threshold load, and after 75° head-up tilting before and after wide chest opening. Lung and chest-wall τvel were the same under all conditions. Rvel was independent of volume and posture, and greater for the lung. Chest-wall Rint was independent of flow, volume, and posture. Lung Rint decreased with increasing volume. Chest-wall Rint, Est and Rvel increased with rib-cage block, allowing the assessment of both abdominal-wall and rib-cage characteristics. When chest opening did not elicit bronchoconstriction, the decrease of Rvel was â¼6%. Main conclusions:
lung and chest-wall exhibit linear tissue viscoelasticity within the range studied; rib-cage and abdomen characteristics are similar, and asynchronous motion is not expected at physiological respiratory rates; in normal lungs, heterogeneity of parallel time constants plays a marginal role.Palabras clave
