Aging effects on airflow dynamics and lung function in human bronchioles

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The mortality rate for patients requiring mechanical ventilation is about 35% and this rate increases to about 53% for the elderly. In general, with increasing age, the dynamic lung function and respiratory mechanics are compromised, and several experiments are being conduc...
