Work Of Breathing

Work of Breathing is the mechanical energy per unit volume exerted by the respiratory muscles to overcome elastic and resistive forces during pulmonary ventilation, distinguishing it from passive gas exchange processes by quantifying the active effort required to inhale and exhale under varying physiological and pathological conditions.
