Pleural pressure, or Ppl, is the pressure surrounding the lung, within the pleural space. During quiet breathing, the pleural pressure is negative; that is, it is below atmospheric pressure. The pleura is a thin membrane which invests the lungs and lines the walls of the thoracic cavity.
9 Ιαν 2023 · The direct measurement of pleural pressures during thoracentesis is known as pleural manometry. The indications, technique, and interpretation of pleural pressures during pleural fluid manometry will be reviewed here.
In physiology, intrapleural pressure refers to the pressure within the pleural cavity. Normally, the pressure within the pleural cavity is slightly less than the atmospheric pressure, which is known as negative pressure. [1]
18 Σεπ 2016 · Any theory for pleural pressure needs to explain certain crucial facts, including that the lung and chest walls exert an equal and opposite recoil pressure . It would need to explain the negative values for pleural pressure, and why apical pleural pressure is more negative than at the base.
Excessively negative pleural pressure compared to the normal state is present during both inhalation and exhalation, and shifts the balance of Starling forces that are responsible for the production of pleural fluid such that more fluid moves into the pleural space.
Additionally, the negative intrapleural pressure relative to atmospheric pressure results in a positive transpulmonary pressure preventing atelectasis at end-exhalation and allowing the lung to inflate during inspiration.
24 Ιουλ 2023 · The pleural cavity always maintains a negative pressure. During inspiration, its volume expands, and the intrapleural pressure drops. This pressure drop decreases the intrapulmonary pressure as well, expanding the lungs and pulling more air into them.
