Figure 1. Data analysis before and during an airway occlusion. The technique for measurement of inspiratory time (tI), maximal pressure during inspiratory effort against an occlusion (PMAX), and the change in pressure with time during the first 0.1 s of occlusion (dP/dt0.1) are shown. The time intervals to peak tidal inspiratory (tPTIF) and expiratory (tPTEF) flow were calculated from the zero flow crossing to their respective peak flows (1 kPa = 10.2 cmH2O).
