Values of maximal static inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures in healthy Latin American young adults
A systematic review
Abstract
Objective: To assess the values of maximal static inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures in healthy young Latin American adults, as well as the instruments and technical characteristics of measurement.
Materials and methods: Observational studies reporting the values of maximal static inspiratory and/or expiratory mouth pressures (Pimax and/or Pemax) in Latin American young, young adult, adult, and student subjects were included. Articles without full access to content, published over ten years ago, or written in languages other than English, Spanish, or Portuguese were excluded. The search was carried out in Medline/Pubmed, Virtual Health Library, and SciELO databases. Risk of bias analysis was performed using the Newcastle Ottawa scale. A qualitative synthesis of the results was performed. OSF register: https://osf.io/32jqp/
Results: A total of 9 observational studies were included. The age range of subjects was 15 -35. Mean Pimax and/or Pemax values were higher in male subjects. Measurements were made using digital and aneroid manovacuometers, with rigid and diving nozzles, in the supine, sitting, or semi-sitting position.
Conclusion: Most studies on the maximal static mouth pressures of healthy Latin American young adults were conducted on subjects aged between 15 and 35. Higher values of maximal static respiratory pressure were observed in male subjects, and measurements were made in the sitting position, using an analog manovacuometer. Future studies are needed to help implement these findings into actual evidence-based practice.
