BACKGROUND: Deterioration of vital capacity (VC) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) signifies disease progression and indicates need for non-invasive ventilation. Weak facial muscles consequent to ALS, with resulting poor mouth seal, may interfere with the accuracy of VC measurements.
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether different interfaces affect VC measurements in ALS patients and whether the interface yielding the largest VC produces an even higher VC when re-measured after one week (learning effect). To explore the relationship between optimal interface VC and sniff nasal pressure (SNIP), a measurement of global inspiratory muscle strength.
METHODS: Thirty-five patients (17 bulbar and 18 spinal ALS) were studied. Three interfaces (rigid-cylindrical, flanged, oronasal mask) were tested. One week after the first visit, VC was recorded using the optimal interface. SNIP recordings were also obtained.
RESULTS: In the bulbar ALS group, median (interquartile range) VC with the flanged mouthpiece was 8.4% (3.9-15.5) larger than with the cylindrical mouthpiece (p < 0.001). VC values with oronasal mask were intermediate to VC with the other two interfaces. In spinal ALS, flanged mouthpiece VC was 4.6% (2.3-7.5) larger than with oronasal mask (p < 0.0006). The latter was 4.5% (0.6-5.2) smaller than with the cylindrical mouthpiece (p = 0.002). In both groups, VC during the second visit was greater than during the first visit (p < 0.025). SNIPs were logarithmically related to VC values recorded with the flanged mouthpiece.
CONCLUSION: A flanged mouthpiece yields the largest values of VC in patients with bulbar and spinal ALS.
