Fig. 4From: Accuracy of the estimations of respiratory mechanics using an expiratory time constant in passive and active breathing conditions: a bench studyComparisons of the expiratory time constant (RCexp) in various models during controlled and assisted ventilatory mode. Normal adult (A), mildly obstructive (B), severely obstructive (C), restrictive (D), and mixed (E) models are shown. Data are presented as mean ± SD. P < 0.01 vs. PSV for all pairwise comparisonsBack to article page
