| Airway model | Respiratory rate (breaths/min) | Tidal volume (mL) | Inspiratory time (seconds) | Resistance (cm H2O/L/second) | Compliance (mL/cm H2O) | Inspiratory to expiratory ratio |
| Adolescent | 15 | 400 | 1 | 5 | 100 | 1 : 2 | 17 years (80 kg) [25] | Small child | 20 | 100 | 0.85 | 15 | 20 | 1 : 2 | 5 years (20 kg) [24] | Large infant/toddler | 25 | 60 | 0.65 | 20 | 15 | 1 : 2 | 17 months (15 kg) [23] |
