Improved lung compliance
What this means for you
Lung compliance is a measure of how easily your lungs expand when you breathe. When compliance improves, breathing tends to feel less effortful — which can matter for anyone dealing with tightness, shallow breathing, or reduced stamina during everyday activity or exercise.
The published research
High-flow therapy: physiological effects and clinical applications.
Breathe (Sheffield, England) · 2020
The review explicitly documents that 'HFT has been shown to improve lung compliance and reduce inspiratory effort and work of breathing' in acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure, citing primary physiological studies. It also notes that impaired mucociliary clearance reduces lung compliance, and HFT reverses these effects, directly supporting the response of improved lung compliance enabling easier
