pubmed-article:2367484 | pubmed:abstractText | Resistance and reactance of the respiratory tract of 40 healthy newborn were measured by means of the polyfrequent oscillation method. Mean resistance had frequency-dependent values between 20.91 and 9.63 cm H2O per litre per second and mean reactance between -29.11 and -3.81 cm H2O/1/s. The resistance--but not the reactance--was found to depend on the body length and the body weight of the infants. | lld:pubmed |
