In this study, it is evaluated the influence of time in mechanical ventilation on maximal inspiratory pressure and pulmonary volume of pressure support ventilated patients. 12 adult patients, 4 female and 8 male, in weaning process under pressure support mode were included. Maximal inspiratory pressure, minute volume, tidal volume and time of mechanical ventilation were calculated for all patients. The statistical analysis was made by Pearson Linear Correlation Coefficient, with significant level p<0,05. It was observed a negative correlation between time of mechanical ventilation and maximal inspiratory pressure (r = -0,7142; p = 0,009), and time of mechanical ventilation and tidal volume (r = -0,601; p = 0,0387). The time of mechanical ventilation has negative influence on respiratory muscular strength and tidal volume in pressure support ventilated patients.
