SPIROMETER WITH ROCC+MIP+MEP

Respiratory resistance (Rocc) option is attractive to use in paediatric and aged patients, because a minimal cooperation only is required. The static respiratory pressures, Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP or PI max) and Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP or PE max) are a way to non-invasively assess respiratory muscle strength. Respiratory muscle weakness is present in a number of conditions, most notably neuromuscular diseases and disorders, but also malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, polymyositis, sarcoid and COPD
