First Aid : Transorgan Static Pressure : Lung and Chest wall

[DocMiami]

Can someone explain what transorgan static pressure mean? Is this the same thing as transpulmonary pressure ! Thank you : )

Transorgan pressure = transpulm pressure = transmittal pressure. Transorgan STATIC pressure most likely refers to transorgan pressure at FRC.

Transorgan pressure = transpulm pressure = transmittal pressure. Transorgan STATIC pressure most likely refers to transorgan pressure at FRC.

Thank you

Thank you

No problem. Should say transmural not transmittal

Sorry for digging up this thread. But if transorgan static pressure is transpulmonary pressure, then why does a positive transpulmonary pressure in the graph illustrate a collapsing force on the lung? If the transpulm. pressure is negative, then it should be collapsing. Also, what is the dotted lines for the lung graph illustrate?

Oh man, I thought that if the transpulmonary pressure was positive the net result was always a collapsing force... That is obviously wrong. However, the collapsing force INCREASES with the increased transorgan pressure, but it is not the dominant force.
