Inspiratory Pressure

Inspiratory pressure refers to the amount of effort or force generated by your respiratory muscles, mainly the diaphragm and chest muscles, when taking a breath in. It is a measure of how strongly your body can draw air into your lungs, which is important for assessing lung strength and function. Higher inspiratory pressure indicates greater capacity to breathe in against resistance, while lower pressure may suggest weaker respiratory muscles or underlying lung problems. This measurement is often used in medical settings to evaluate respiratory health or to guide treatment.
