Sniff and reverse-sniff nasal respiratory pressures after exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A single-center prospective study

This study examined the validity of sniff nasal inspiratory (SNIP) and reverse-sniff nasal expiratory pressures (RSNEP) for estimating respiratory muscle strength and for predicting poor life expectancy following exacerbation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
