  2. Transpulmonary pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpulmonary_pressure

    Transpulmonary pressure is the difference between the alveolar pressure and the intrapleural pressure in the pleural cavity. During human ventilation, air flows because of pressure gradients. P tp = P alv – P ip. Where P tp is transpulmonary pressure, P alv is alveolar pressure, and P ip is intrapleural pressure.

  3. Intrapleural pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrapleural_pressure

    Intrapleural pressure depends on the ventilation phase, atmospheric pressure, and the volume of the intrapleural cavity. [2] At rest, there is a negative intrapleural pressure. This provides a transpulmonary pressure, causing the lungs to expand. If humans didn't maintain a slightly negative pressure even when exhaling, their lungs would ...

  4. Pneumothorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumothorax

    Once air enters the pleural cavity, the intrapleural pressure increases, resulting in the difference between the intrapulmonary pressure and the intrapleural pressure (defined as the transpulmonary pressure) to equal zero, which cause the lungs to deflate in contrast to a normal transpulmonary pressure of ~4 mm Hg. [28]

  5. Pleural cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleural_cavity

    The pleural cavity, or pleural space (or sometimes intrapleural space), is the potential space between the pleurae of the pleural sac that surrounds each lung.A small amount of serous pleural fluid is maintained in the pleural cavity to enable lubrication between the membranes, and also to create a pressure gradient.

  6. Work of breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_of_breathing

    Dynamic airway compression occurs when intrapleural pressure equals or exceeds alveolar pressure, which causes dynamic collapsing of the lung airways. It is termed dynamic given the transpulmonary pressure (alveolar pressure − intrapleural pressure) varies based on factors including lung volume, compliance, resistance, existing pathologies, etc. [6] It occurs during forced expiration when ...

    Dynamic compression of the airways results when intrapleural pressure equals or exceeds alveolar pressure, which causes dynamic collapsing of the lung airways. It is termed dynamic given the transpulmonary pressure (alveolar pressure − intrapleural pressure) varies based on factors including lung volume, compliance, resistance, existing pathologies, etc. [1]
