Measurements of collateral mechanics after injection of methacholine in dog. After methacholine, a stop in flow () is followed by an abrupt decrease in pressure at bronchial obstruction (Pb) to level of pressure in obstructed segment (Ps). Difference between Pb and Ps is related to resistance in constricted airways distal to obstruction. τcoll, Time constant for collateral flow.

Figure 5. Figure 5.

Determinants of magnitude of pulmonary interdependence (K). Top: in dog, when the lung surrounding an obstructed segment inflates from a pressure of 5 to 10 cmH2O, an outward‐acting pull results in a decrease of pressure from 5 to −5 cmH2O within segment. This corresponds to K = 2. In pig, in which K = 1, pressure in segment decreases from 5 to 0 cmH2O. Bottom: in spontaneously breathing pig, when the lung surrounding an obstructed segment inflates from a pressure of 5 to 10 cmH2O, pressure in segment decreases from 5 to −2 cmH2O (K = 1.4). With paralysis, K = 1. When the lung is excised, K = 0.1. Shape changes of obstructed segment may be responsible for low K values in the excised lung.
