divided by the forced vital capacity. Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) MIP, also known as negative inspiratory force (NIF), is the maximum pressure that...

obstructed airway. It can be inspiratory, expiratory or biphasic, although it is usually heard during inspiration. Inspiratory stridor often occurs in children...

Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is the highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation. In mechanical ventilation the number reflects...

group in the medulla to delay the 'switch off, the inspiratory off switch (IOS) signal of the inspiratory ramp provided by the pneumotaxic center. It controls...

maximum breathing capacity is zero. The tidal volume, vital capacity, inspiratory capacity and expiratory reserve volume can be measured directly with...

fibers of the vagus nerve to the inspiratory area in the medulla and apneustic center of the pons. In response, the inspiratory area is inhibited directly and...

capacity (TLC), inspiratory capacity (IC), functional residual capacity (FRC) and vital capacity (VC). Measurement of maximal inspiratory and expiratory...

extrathoracic airway obstruction produce inspiratory sounds. Intrathoracic major airway obstruction produces inspiratory as well as expiratory sounds. Distal...

the usage of mechanical ventilation. The mode refers to the method of inspiratory support. In general, mode selection is based on clinician familiarity...

and classification of the sounds usually involve auscultation of the inspiratory and expiratory phases of the breath cycle, noting both the pitch (typically...

muscles (greater than maximum inspiratory capacity). The technique involves the use of the glottis to add to an inspiratory effort by gulping boluses of...

the 1940s. The classic symptoms of pertussis are a paroxysmal cough, inspiratory whoop, and fainting, or vomiting after coughing. The cough from pertussis...

speed of inhalation and exhalation Sends inhibitory impulses to the inspiratory area Involved in fine tuning of respiration rate. apneustic center Coordinates...

measures the maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures that a patient can generate at either the mouth (MIP and MEP) or inspiratory pressure a patient...

end-expiratory position IRV Inspiratory reserve volume: the maximal volume that can be inhaled from the end-inspiratory level IC Inspiratory capacity: the sum of...

Reverse sneezing, also known as inspiratory paroxysmal respiration, is a clinical event that occurs in dogs and cats. It is possibly caused by a muscle...

their timing: fine crackles are usually late-inspiratory, whereas coarse crackles are early inspiratory. Fine crackles are soft, high-pitched, and very...

can also match the alveolar pressure if there is no difference between inspiratory and expiratory resistance. There are several equations aimed at determining...

from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume. It is approximately...
