Abstract
The strength of respiratory muscles is measured in terms of pressure, being the gradient that moves flow/volume to ventilate the lungs. Sniff test is a technically simple voluntary test that quantifies the strength of inspiratory muscles. Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP)1 is a non-invasive parameter extensively used in the clinical, being considered more natural and pleasant than maximal inspiratory pressure measurements. It solves the possible leak problems of the use of a mouthpiece, particularly in neuromuscular patients.2,3 In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, for example, SNIP is a predictor of survival and tracheostomyFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
