Abstract
The mechanical properties of the lungs in seven patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were measured before and during dyspnea on exertion, as well as when relief with added oxygen was obtained. Mean pulmonary dynamic compliance was 0.091 liters/cm of H2O before dyspnea, 0.057 during dyspnea, and 0.101 liters/cm H2O during relief. During dyspnea there was an increase in the total respiratory work (both elastic and nonelastic work) and this fell during relief with oxygen. Nonelastic resistance and respiratory rate were not significantly different during the three periods. In five similar patients a progressive increase in the instantaneous rate of change of transpulmonary pressure (dP/dt) was observed during exercise and this was markedly increased during dyspnea. These changes in dP/dt during exercise could explain the observed fall of pulmonary dynamic compliance.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
