Brief Summary

In determining respiratory muscle strength, mouth pressure measurement is most frequently used in the clinic. Determination of respiratory muscle strength loss provides benefits such as taking the decision to use individual rehabilitation methods, making the decision for extubation in patients with mechanical ventilation. But Turkey normative values, these values are not available. In the investigator's country, the respiratory muscle forces of the cases are evaluated by comparing them with the normal / expected values of the Scandinavian races that do not have similar anatomical features with the Turkish society, which causes errors in diagnosis. The 250 healthy cases, whose age ranges are between 20-70, 20-29, 30-40, 40-49, 50-59 and 60-70, will be examined by a pulmonologist and asked if they have any disease that may affect respiratory muscle strength. Mouth pressure measurements will be made for healthy and inclusion criteria, and maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure distributions will be examined.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Respiratory muscle strenght measurement

  Respiratory mus cle strength will be measured by measuring mouth pressure. Maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory pressures (MEP) will be recorded.

  30 minutes

Interventions

respiratory muscle strenght measurement DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Maximum inspiratory pressure-maximum expiratory pressure. The mouth pressure measurement was performed with the Micro-RPM® instrument from SensorMEDIC. Patient placed a rubber mouthpiece with flanges, on the device, sealed their lips firmly around the mouthpiece, exhaled/inhaled slowly and completely and then tried to breath in as hard as possible. The patient was allowed to rest for about a minute and the maneuver was repeated.
