Asthma and the intrapleural pressure?
So, asthma causes wheezing which causes a greater expiratory effort which 'increases intrapleural pressure, compressing small intrathoracic airways further and limits expiratory flow'.
Could anyone explain why the greater expiratory effort increases intrapleural pressure? Is it related to greater expiratory pressure needing the use of abdominal muscles?
