SNIP - Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure
Does anyone have this test done at their clinic alongside FVC?
I am interested in the correct procedure, as my partner's results seem to vary very much, from unrealistic 140cm H2o (deep sea divers!) to 59cm H20 (death within 6 months!)
Sometimes they close his free nostril (the one free of the nasal plug), sometimes they don't. My partner feels that the test is not performed correctly.
Also, does anyone knows what the correlation between FVC values and SNIP values is? His FVC is normal.
Thanks. D
