To increase the sensitivity of measurements of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) as a test of inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, software was developed to correct for variation in lung volume.
Using a body plethysmograph to determine absolute lung volume during each manoeuvre, values for MIP were expressed as a percentage of the pressure "expected" from the unfatigued MIP/lung volume relation in each subject.
The method reduced the variance in peak and average pressure during a series of 18 MIP manoeuvres of 10 seconds duration separated by rest intervals of 10 seconds.
The correlation between average pressure and contraction number was improved significantly by the MIP/lung volume correction. This simple correction has many applications in measurements of the MIP.
为提高作为吸气肌力量和耐力测试的最大吸气压力(MIP)测量的灵敏度,开发了一种软件以校正肺容积的变化。
使用体容积描记器在每次操作期间确定绝对肺容积,MIP值表示为每个受试者中根据未疲劳的MIP/肺容积关系“预期”的压力的百分比。
该方法减少了在一系列18次持续10秒的MIP操作期间,间隔10秒休息时峰值压力和平均压力的方差。
MIP/肺容积校正显著改善了平均压力与收缩次数之间的相关性。这种简单的校正在MIP测量中有许多应用。
