pubmed:abstractText
Inspiratory muscle weakness is a recognised cause of unexplained dyspnoea. It may be suggested by the finding of a low static inspiratory mouth pressure (MIP), but MIP is a difficult test to perform, with a wide normal range; a low MIP may also occur if the patient has not properly performed the manoeuvre. Further investigation conventionally requires balloon catheters to obtain oesophageal (Poes) and transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) during sniffs or phrenic nerve stimulation. Two non-invasive tests of inspiratory muscle strength have recently been described--nasal pressure during a maximal sniff (Sn Pnas) and mouth pressure during magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerves (Tw Pmo). The use of these two tests in combination might identify patients without inspiratory muscle weakness who are unable to produce a satisfactory MIP< therefore avoiding the need for investigation with balloon catheters.
