We investigated the effect of mouthpiece design on maximum static expiratory (PEmax) and inspiratory (PImax) mouth pressures. We measured PEmax from total lung capacity (TLC) and PImax from residual volume (RV) in 21 healthy volunteers, and in 40 patients referred for respiratory muscle testing. We compared two different mouthpieces, a semi-rigid plastic flanged type fitting inside the lips, and a 4 cm diameter rubber tube held against the lips. The tube mouthpiece gave significantly higher values for PEmax (p less than 0.02) in all subjects. PImax was also significantly higher (p less than 0.005) with the tube mouthpiece in subjects who recorded normal pressures. We conclude that maximum pressures are obtained in all normal subjects with the rubber tube mouthpiece, and that differences in quoted normal ranges of maximum static respiratory pressures reflect in part the design of the mouthpiece and the way in which it was used.
