The strength of the respiratory muscles can be evaluated from static measurements (maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, MIP and MEP) or inferred from dynamic maneuvers

The preoperative muscle dysfunction, verified by maximal inspiratory pressure in patients with heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery does not appear to influence the incidence

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate and correlate inspiratory muscle strength using maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure

Methods: Pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength [maximal inspiratory (PImax), maximal expiratory (PEmax) and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP)] were assessed

Este percurso remete o pensamento às idéias de apropriação e de territorialidade, abordadas a partir de alguns recortes sócio-espaciais desta cidade, quais sejam, o extinto Bar

The aim of this study is to evaluate the MEP (Maximal Expiratory Pressure) values of individuals between 20 and 25 years old and to validate a protocol using a pressure transducer and

CONCLUSION: The preoperative inspiratory muscle training increased the inspiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure) and attenuated the negative postoperative effects

PRCs, postoperative respiratory complications; MELD, model for end-stage liver disease; INR, international normalized ratio; MIP, maximal inspiratory pressure; MEP, maximal expiratory
