Differences between sniff mouth pressures and static maximal inspiratory mouth pressures.
Measurements of static maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (PImax) and dynamic sniff mouth pressure (Psniff) are frequently used to assess inspiratory muscle strength. The aim of the present study was to examine, in 42 healthy subjects, the equivalence of PImax and Psniff, the influence of body posture on PImax and Psniff, and the effects of nasal patency and repeated manoeuvres on Psniff. PImax...
متن کاملAssociation of circulating angiotensin converting enzyme activity with respiratory muscle function in infants
BACKGROUND Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene contains a polymorphism, consisting of either the presence (I) or absence (D) of a 287 base pair fragment. Deletion (D) is associated with increased circulating ACE (cACE) activity. It has been suggested that the D-allele of ACE genotype is associated with power-oriented performance and that cACE activity is correlated with muscle strength. Re...
متن کاملCorrelation of maximal inspiratory pressure to transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure in intensive care unit patients
BACKGROUND Respiratory muscle weakness contributes to respiratory failure in ICU patients. Unfortunately, assessment of weakness is difficult since the most objective test, transdiaphragmatic pressure in response to phrenic nerve stimulation (PdiTw), is difficult to perform. While most clinicians utilize maximum inspiratory pressure (Pimax) to assess strength, the relationship of this index to ...
متن کاملFeasibility of high-intensity, interval-based respiratory muscle training in COPD.
BACKGROUND Specific respiratory muscle training can improve respiratory muscle function in patients with COPD, but the magnitude of improvement appears dependent on the magnitude of the training load. High training loads are difficult to achieve using conventional, constant loading techniques, but may be possible using interval-based training techniques. METHODS To assess the feasibility of h...
متن کاملMuscle impairment in neuromuscular disease using an expiratory/inspiratory pressure ratio.
BACKGROUND Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) lead to different weakness patterns, and most patients with NMDs develop respiratory failure. Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength can be measured by maximum static inspiratory pressure (PImax) and maximum static expiratory pressure (PEmax), and the relationship between them has not been well described in healthy subjects and subjects with NMDs.
