• Falling

  Lung compliance may fall drastically in certain pulmonary diseases Both lung compliance and elastance can fall significantly in various disease states. A fall in lung compliance affects breathing because more energy goes into stretching stiff lungs. [physiologyplus.com]

  Inspiratory effort causes: Fall in intrapleural pressure Fall in Alveolar pressure Pressure gradient from mouth to alveoli Gas flow down pressure gradient Maximum inspiratory force sometimes used as an index of resp. effort; if < 20 cmH2O most patients [anaesthesia.med.usyd.edu.au]

  So when the FiO2 falls, reduce the PEEP: you will immediately afterward see the pip fall (on volume ventilation) or the volume increase (on pressure ventilation), and now you will be able to note the improvement in compliance. [neonatalresearch.org]

  Restrictive lung diseases fall in 3 broad classes: lung tissue disease, muscles of respiration disease, and those things that compress or prevent the lung from expanding. [healthtap.com]
