Negative Inspiratory Force Flashcards
Negative Inspiratory force is also known as
Maximum inspiratory Pressure (MIP)
Negative inspiratory force measures
the output of the inspiratory
muscles against a maximum stimulus
A negative inspiratory force value of what is considered normal
-80cmH2O
A negative inspiratory force value of what indicates decreased strength of
inspiratory muscles
less than -20cm H2O
Negative Inspiratory force measurements can be done on what kind of patients
unconscious and uncooperative patients
To measure a patients breathing endurance you measure the
Maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV)
What measures muscle function on a single breath
Vital Capacity
What determines the ability of patient to sustain an increased respiratory load over time
Maximum Voluntary Ventilation
A normal value for MVV is
120-180 lpm
What are 4 common side effects of MVV
- Hyper ventilation
- Tingling and numbness in the face
- Lightheadedness
- Dyspnea
