The recent data available about the effects of long-acting bronchodilators on resting lung volumes elicited that formoterol had a rapid increase in inspiratory capacity (IC), reaching a peak value after 30 min [27].

Pay attention to those flashing numbers on the ventilator's tidal breath readout during a coughing episode elicited during low-level pressure support--they usually give a pretty good idea of the inspiratory capacity.

Avoiding the weaning protocol 'off ramp'

Reduced tidal volume expansion during exercise correlated with reduced inspiratory capacity, which, in turn, correlated with reduced inspiratory muscle strength.

Mechanisms of Exertional Dyspnea in Patients with Cancer

Guidelines for selecting an MDI for patient use must include making certain the patient is able to follow instructions, has an adequate inspiratory capacity, is capable of a breath hold of 4 to 10 seconds and has a stable respiratory rate and pattern.

Merrick and Axon,[17] studying healthy subjects, did not find isotonic diaphragmatic exercise to improve inspiratory capacity (IC), peak inspiratory flow rate, or peak inspiratory pressure, although the subjects' increased exercise capacity may suggest improved inspiratory muscle endurance.
