Reproducibility of twitch mouth pressure, sniff nasal inspiratory pressure, and maximal inspiratory pressure [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 1998 Twitch mouth pressure (Pmo,tw) during magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) were recently proposed as alternative noninvasive methods for assessing inspiratory muscle strength. This study aimed to compare their reproducibility with maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) in normal subjects.

Inspiratory muscle training is ineffective in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients [PDF]
Clinics, 2005 PURPOSE: Invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with complications, and its abbreviation is desirable. The imbalance between increased workload, decreased inspiratory muscle strength and endurance is an important determinant of ventilator ...

Measurement of maximal inspiratory pressure in ventilated children [PDF]
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2008 AbstractMaximal inspiratory pressure (PIMAX), the maximum negative pressure generated during temporary occlusion of the airway, is commonly used to measure inspiratory muscle strength in mechanically ventilated infants and children. There are, however, no guidelines as to how the PIMAX measurement should be made.
