Popis: A single compartment model has been used to describe the dynamic respiratory mechanics in 21 newborn infants. The subjects were intubated and studied during mechanical ventilation. A whole-body plethysmograph was used to record the ventilatory flow. The estimated resistance and compliance values of the respiratory system have been compensated for the effect of alveolar gas compression. The average compensated resistance value was 11% lower than the uncompensated value and the average compensated compliance value was 6% higher than the uncompensated value.
