Optical rhinometry in nasal provocation testing
INTRODUCTION Optical rhinometry (ORM) is a technique that allows for direct continuous measurement of changes in blood flow (optical density) in nasal vessels, at the same time analyzing changes per unit of time in the evaluated variable: intravascular blood flow and oxygen saturation. AIM To assess the extent to which ORM can be used as an objective measure of nasal mucosal edema following a...
متن کاملAssessment of septoplasty effectiveness using acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry
Introduction: Septal deviation is the chief cause of chronic nasal obstruction. In order to treat such cases, nasal septoplasty surgery is usually performed based on patient complaints and a surgeon's examination, both of which are subjective. This study aims at using the objective parameters of acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry to evaluate the effectiveness of septoplasty surgery. Ma...

متن کاملActive anterior rhinomanometry in paediatrics. Normality criteria.
BACKGROUND Active anterior rhinomanometry with a face mask was used to establish the lower age limit for application of the technique, define normality reference standards, and determine the most appropriate pressure for referencing the nasal resistance values. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 409 children of both sexes and aged 5-14 years were studied. The subjects were selected from among he...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Acoustic Rhinometry and Rhinomanometry in Tympanoplasty Surgery.
OBJECTIVE Chronic otitis media (COM) is a disorder characterized by perforation of the eardrum and hearing loss following chronic inflammation of the middle ear cavity, ossicules, and mastoid cells. Eustachian dysfunction plays an important role in COM etiopathogenesis and postoperative prognosis. The determinants of postoperative prognosis are still being researched. This study aimed to resear...
