(14) If the flow of gas at the airway opening of a tracheostomized dog is suddenly interrupted during expiration, the airway pressure exhibits a sudden very rapid rise, called delta Pinit, which has been shown previously to equal the resistive pressure drop across the airways in open-chest dogs, and to have a significant additional contribution from the tissues of the chest wall in intact dogs.
(15) Since previously used methods for measuring respiratory system resistance have employed varying combinations of delta Pinit and delta Pdif as the resistive pressure drop, it is clear that measurements of resistance must be made with standard techniques under standard conditions if they are to be compared.
(16) Following airway occlusion one generally sees a rapid change in airway opening pressure, Pinit, which reflects the resistive pressure drop across the system, followed by a secondary, slower pressure change, Pdif, which reflects the tissue visco-elastic properties together with any redistribution of gases occurring between lung units at different pressure at the time of interruption.
(17) delta Pdif became larger than delta Pinit towards the end of expiration.
(18) In general, the pressure signal obtained exhibits an initial rapid change (delta Pinit) accompanied by rapid damped oscillations, followed by a further slow change to a steady-state plateau level.

(20) Assuming delta Pinit to be the result of a linear dependence of airway resistance on flow and a constant tissue resistance, we were able to account for the negative slope of the Moody plot.
