Chapter 13 Compliance: Dynamic (Cdyn) NOTES EQUATION When the dynamic compliance changes independently, without corresponding change in static compliance, it is indicative of airway resistance changes. For example, if the dynamic compliance decreases with minimal or no decrease in static compliance, it is likely caused by an increase in nonelastic (airway) resistance. This type of resistance change may include bronchospasm, main-stem intubation, kinked tubing or endotracheal tube, mucus plugs, etc.
