inandningstid
Inandningstid, often translated as inspiratory time, refers to the duration of the breathing cycle that is dedicated to inhaling air into the lungs. This is a fundamental component of the respiratory process, working in conjunction with exhalation time. The balance between these two phases is crucial for efficient gas exchange within the alveoli.
In healthy individuals, the pattern of breathing is largely involuntary, regulated by the brainstem's respiratory centers.
In clinical settings, particularly in mechanical ventilation, the control of inspiratory time is a critical parameter.
