P0.1/PIMax: An index for assessing respiratory capacity in acute respiratory failure

Abstract: We studied airway occlusion pressure (P 0.1) and maximal inspiratory pressure (PIMax) in 10 healthy volunteers (Group A), 10 early postsurgical cardiac patients on spontaneous breathing (Group B), 10 patients mechanically ventilated for ARF (Group C), 10 patients weaning from mechanical ventilation after ARF (Group D) and 10 patients extubated after post-ARF (Group E). We calculated the index P 0.1/PIMax in an attempt to link the ventilatory demands and muscle ventilatory reserve. We found that the sensitivity… Show more

“…In patients with ARF, a similar high value of P0.1/VT/tI was also observed by FERNANDEZ et al [14]. Some patients maintained a high P0.1/VT/t I when they recovered from ARF and were unable to sustain spontaneous breathing [14]. It was unclear, however, whether those patients were ready to wean, as in the present study.…”

“…Nevertheless, the increase in effective inspiratory impedance during ARF suggests that the mechanical load on the respiratory muscles is increased. In patients with ARF, a similar high value of P0.1/VT/tI was also observed by FERNANDEZ et al [14]. Some patients maintained a high P0.1/VT/t I when they recovered from ARF and were unable to sustain spontaneous breathing [14].…”

“…Maximal inspiratory mouth pressure sustained for 1 s (P Imax ) was measured as described previously [21]. Respiratory capac-ity was assessed as P 0.1 /P Imax [22] to avoid underestimation of a potentially increased ventilatory drive in the presence of inspiratory muscle weakness. Maximal expiratory pressure (P Emax ) was assessed at total lung capacity according to recent guidelines [13,23].…”

“…P 0.1 is widely accepted as an index of respiratory drive performance, 12 although it may be affected by drugs, gas exchange, respiratory muscle function, 13 or lung volume. It is important to note that variations in P aCO 2 observed with hyperoxia in subjects with COPD may be not wide enough to produce a measurable change in P 0.1 .…”
