• Negative pressure
–-3 to -5 cmH2O
• Allow changes in lung shape with respiration
• Prevent atelectasis
–Negative pleural pressure maintain positive
transpleural pressure

Pleural fluid
• Approximately 0.26 mL of fluid per kg of body
weight is contained within each pleural cavity
(approximately 18 mL in a 70 kg adult)
0.01 mL x kg x h
Hydrostatic Oncotic

Lymphatic channel
0.28 mL x kg x h

Pleural homeostasis
Jv = Kf [ (PH1-PH2) - (1-2) ]
• Jv = water flux
• Kf = filtration coefficient
• PH = hydrostatic pressure
• = colloidosmotic pressures
• = solute reflection coefficient of the membrane
