SUMMARY The mechanical work of respiration imposed by intermittent positive pressure was investigated in five totally paralyzed subjects. The chest wall was found to have no demonstrable non-elastic component to its resistance. The effect of alteration of the duration of inspiration upon the lungs' elastic and non-elastic resistance and upon chest wall resistance was determined. The effect of altering the imposed tracheal positive pressure waveform at a constant duration of inspiration upon the lungs' elastic and non-elastic resistance was determined.
