conductance /con·duc·tance/ (kon-duk´tans) the capacity for conducting or ability to convey. Symbol G.

airway conductance the reciprocal of airway resistance; the airflow divided by the mouth-to-alveoli pressure difference.

airway conductance (G_aw),

the instantaneous rate of gas flow in the airway per unit of pressure difference between the mouth, nose, or other airway opening and the alveoli. It is the reciprocal of airway resistance.

conductance [kon-duk´tans]

ability to conduct or transmit, as electricity or other energy or material.

airway conductance in studies of respiration, an expression of the amount of air reaching the alveoli per unit of time per unit of pressure, the reciprocal of airway resistance.

social conductance interaction appropriate to one's environment, making use of manners, respect for personal space, eye contact, gestures, active listening, and self expression; a performance component of occupational therapy.
