Elastance (E)

Dynamic elastance captures the elastic rigidity of the lungs.

Parameter name:Elastance
Abbreviation:E
Techniques:Resistance & Compliance

Detail

» Increased elastance values signal an increased stiffness of the lungs.

» Elastance is the inverse of the Compliance (E = 1/C).

» Dynamic elastance reflects the mechanical properties of the lungs for normal respiratory rates. For quasi-static behaviour, refer to Est.
