COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
ARDS: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Values represent lung function based on gender, age, height, and weight with BMI adjustments.
Normal BMI generally allows for optimal lung mechanics.
Caucasian reference values are used as the baseline for lung capacity calculations.
Neonatal lung function parameters are calculated using reference equations from Nguyen et al. (2013). These values are appropriate for infants up to 2 years of age.
Parameters like Respiratory Rate (RR) and Compliance (Crs) are particularly important in this age group as the respiratory system undergoes rapid development.
