Daily activities are sufficient to induce dynamic pulmonary hyperinflation and dyspnea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Clinics, 2012
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to measure dynamic lung hyperinflation and its influence on dyspnea perception in moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients after performing activities of daily living.

The Prognostic Significance of Inspiratory Capacity in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]

Respiration, 2014
Background: Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) present with an altered inspiratory capacity (IC) reflecting dynamic hyperinflation (DH) that leads to mechanical constraints and excessive ventilatory demand, particularly during exercise, resulting in exertional dyspnea.

Inspiratory muscle strength and walking capacity in patients with COPD [PDF]

European Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2019
Purpose: It has been suggested that patients with inspiratory muscle weakness could benefit from specific inspiratory muscle training (IMT). We aimed to examine the frequency of patients with inspiratory muscle weakness in a Danish hospital-based outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program, and to evaluate the association between inspiratory muscle ...

Percentiles of Inspiratory Capacity in Healthy Nonsmokers: A Pilot Study [PDF]

Respiration, 2011
<i>Background:</i> Over the past decade inspiratory capacity (IC) has received increasing attention, especially in studies on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Though a few recent studies provide reference values for IC, still little is known on the distribution of its values in healthy subjects.

Inspiratory capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A measure of hyperinflation and relation with other parameters – A cross-sectional study

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2018
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lung hyperinflation or air trapping is the hallmark of COPD and the primary cause of dyspnea, poor quality of life, and advertent disease ...

Home-Based Inspiratory Muscle Training as Stand-Alone Therapy in COPD: A Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial Assessing Novel and Established Training Methods

COPD
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of two home-based, stand-alone inspiratory muscle training (IMT) modalities – inspiratory flow-resistive loading with biofeedback (IRFL) and mechanical threshold loading (MTL) – compared to a ...

Inspiratory capacity‐to‐total lung capacity ratio and dyspnoea predict exercise capacity decline in COPD [PDF]

Respirology, 2015
AbstractBackground and objectiveExercise capacity decline is a predictor of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Static pulmonary hyperinflation is a key determinant of exercise performance, but its effect on the longitudinal decline in exercise capacity remains unknown. We aimed to study the relationship between the
