Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) is a non-invasive measure of inspiratory muscle function often used as an outcome measure in clinical studies. An initial period of familiarisation with the test is recommended to minimise the learning effect. The repeatability of SNIP in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently unknown.
