a lab test that sounds like "NIF"? - HangingInThere


Posted: Apr 29, 2015

Daily FVC, FEV1, and "NIF" were ordered. The initial "NIF" was -18 in the ED. Subsequent record reveals "NIF" -60.

I cannot find a reference for "NIF".

I realize now it stands for negative inspiratory force - HangingInThere
