the lungthe lung
Compliance = Compliance = Change in Volume (L)Change in Volume (L)
Change in Pressure (cm HChange in Pressure (cm H22O)O)

If energy required to breath exceeds If energy required to breath exceeds capacity to supply oxygen to provide that capacity to supply oxygen to provide that energy then respiratory failure develops energy then respiratory failure develops requiring mechanical ventilationrequiring mechanical ventilation
