Dear All,
I am trying to find the surface area of the pulmonary and
tracheobronchial region in humans by age. I have the region-specific
surface areas for an adult human. Does anyone know of tabulated values
for different age groups or a method for extrapolating to children?
Scale by BW?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
