Inspiratory capacity is not altered in operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
Pulmonary Circulation, 2017 Pathological alterations of inspiratory capacity (IC) have been observed in pulmonary hypertension. However, the clinical significance of IC in operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) without other pulmonary diseases remains unknown. CTEPH patients scheduled for pulmonary endarterectomy were prospectively screened.

Comparisons between In-Check DIAL® and PF810® in evaluation and training inspiratory capacity for using dry powder inhalers [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary MedicineBackground Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) rely on both internal resistance and patients’ inspiratory capacity for effective operation. Optimal inspiratory technique is crucial for DPI users. This study assessed the accuracy and repeatability of two available

Inspiratory Capacity during Exercise: Measurement, Analysis, and Interpretation [PDF]
Pulmonary Medicine, 2013 Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an established method for evaluating dyspnea and ventilatory abnormalities. Ventilatory reserve is typically assessed as the ratio of peak exercise ventilation to maximal voluntary ventilation.
