Pulmonary2
- In this context, it can and must be noted that mammals, including humans, have a flow pattern resembling PRVC ventilation: alike the airflow pattern during PRVC ventilation, airflow during spontaneous breathing follows a "decelerating" pattern - fast contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles enlarges the thorax volume, causing a negative intra-thoracic/intra-pulmonary pressure which results in a fast incline of inspiratory airflow. (medscimonit.com)
- After reaching the peak, airflow rapidly declines until equilibration of intra-thoracic/intra-pulmonary pressure and environmental pressure. (medscimonit.com)
