An excellent study in patients with ALI/ARDS in which dynamic/functional lung mechanics as well as quasistatic lung mechanics were compared in a PEEP trial. Functional compliance was only half of quasistatic compliance.

This interesting study indicates that blood volume shift in and out of the thorax affects the static P/V curve, and may be a part of the explanation for compliance being different during static and dynamic conditions.
