Thoracic gas compression during forced expiration is greater in men than women
Intrapleural pressure during a forced vital capacity (VC) maneuver is often in excess of that required to generate maximal expiratory airflow. This excess pressure compresses alveolar gas (i.e., thoracic gas compression [TGC]), resulting in underestimated forced expiratory flows (FEFs) at a given lu...
