  2. Peak inspiratory pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_inspiratory_pressure

    Peak inspiratory pressure (P IP) is the highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation. [1] In mechanical ventilation the number reflects a positive pressure in centimeters of water pressure (cm H 2 O). In normal breathing, it may sometimes be referred to as the maximal inspiratory pressure (M IPO), which is a negative value. [2]

  3. Spirometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirometry

    Maximum inspiratory pressure is an important and noninvasive index of diaphragm strength and an independent tool for diagnosing many illnesses. [29] Typical maximum inspiratory pressures in adult males can be estimated from the equation, M IP = 142 - (1.03 x Age) cmH 2 O, where age is in years. [30]

  4. Respiratory pressure meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_pressure_meter

    Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), also known as negative inspiratory force (NIF), is the maximum pressure that can be generated against an occluded (closed or obstructed) airway beginning at functional residual capacity (the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration).

  5. Pulmonary function testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_function_testing

    Measurement of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures is indicated whenever there is an unexplained decrease in vital capacity or respiratory muscle weakness is suspected clinically. Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is the maximal pressure that can be produced by the patient trying to inhale through a blocked mouthpiece.

    Inspiratory reserve volume: the maximal volume that can be inhaled from the end-inspiratory level: IC: Inspiratory capacity: the sum of IRV and TV: IVC: Inspiratory vital capacity: the maximum volume of air inhaled from the point of maximum expiration: VC: Vital capacity: the volume of air breathed out after the deepest inhalation.

  9. Lung compliance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_compliance

    Pulmonary compliance is calculated using the following equation, where ΔV is the change in volume, and ΔP is the change in pleural pressure: = For example, if a patient inhales 500 mL of air from a spirometer with an intrapleural pressure before inspiration of −5 cm H 2 O and −10 cm H 2 O at the end of inspiration.
