Lung compliance study Part I: If a patient generates a negative pleural pressure change of -8 cm H,O during inspiration, and the lungs accept a new volume of 630 mL, what is the compliance of the lungs? Part II: If the same patient, 6 hours later, generates a pleural pressure of – 12 cm H,0 during inspiration, and the lungs accept a new volume of 850 mL, what is the compliance of the lungs? Part IlI: In comparing Part Il to Part I, the patient's lung compliance is A. increasing. B. decreasing.
