Elastance (E)
Dynamic elastance captures the elastic rigidity of the lungs.
Parameter : Elastance
Abbreviation : E
Parameter : Elastance
Techniques : Resistance & Compliance, Forced Oscillation Technique
Detail
- Increased elastance values signal an increased stiffness of the lungs.
- Elastance is the inverse of the Compliance (E = 1/{meas:C}).
- Dynamic elastance reflects the mechanical properties of the lungs for normal respiratory rates. For quasi-static behaviour, refer to {meas:Est}.
