Verified locator: Frontiers in Physiology 13:773010, published 4 February 2022, DOI 10.3389/fphys.2022.773010. First byline Pierre Tawfik. Figure 1 and Introduction distinguish four pressure/volume methods; Materials and Methods describes passive mechanical ventilation and measurements of static and dynamic respiratory-system compliance. Do not silently relabel total respiratory-system values as lung-only compliance.
Additional exact locator: Materials and Methods, Study Procedures, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8854783/ . Because deflation need not be uniexponential, the investigators measured two expiratory time constants and used their mean in the compliance equation. This is distinguished from the wiki’s original two-compartment pressure-step calculation, which is not study data.
