  • Title: [Occlusion pressure P100 as a criterion of the central regulation of respiration in respiratory insufficiency and anesthesiological care].
    Author: Zil'ber AP, Ravvin MS, Tarasov AN.
    Journal: Vestn Akad Med Nauk SSSR; 1991; (7):31-4. PubMed ID: 1781218.
    Abstract:
    Measurement of occlusion pressure in the airways within the first 100 msec of the inspiration (P100) is a simple noninvasive test for estimating the central inspiratory activity in patients. This test does not require any sophisticated diagnostic equipment, it is not burdensome and does not demand the patient's cooperation. The P100 criterion noticeably varies in healthy subjects, in patients with exacerbation of chronic respiratory failure, and in the immediate postoperative period. The use of the test has additional advantages in patients in critical conditions where the carrying out of different tests (hypoxia, hypercapnia) to estimate the central inspiratory activity is not feasible or unsafe for the patient.
