Pulmonary compliance or lung compliance can refer to either dynamic or static lung compliance. Static lung compliance is the change in volume for any given applied pressure. ref MeshName Lung compliance ref Dynamic lung compliance is the compliance of the lung at any given time during actual movement of air. The compliance of the lungs demonstrate Hysteresis Respiratory physiology hysteresis , that is the compliance is different on inspiration and expiration for identical volumes. Compliance is greatest at moderate lung volumes , and much lower at volumes which are very low or very high. Calculation Pulmonary compliance is calculated using the following equation, where V is the change in volume, and P is the change in pleural pressure math Compliance frac Delta V Delta P math For example if a patient inhales 500 mL of air from a spirometer with an intrapleural pressure before inspiration of 5 cm H sub 2 sub O and 10 cm H sub 2 sub O at the end of inspiration.
