NEONATAL NASAL OBSTRUCTION

The Effect of Nasal Obstruction after Different Nasal Surgeries Using Acoustic Rhinometry and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Scale

BACKGROUND The efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. We have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using Acoustic Rhinometry (AR) and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Scale. METHODS Between May 2011 and May 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to ...

Nasal obstruction in infancy

Nasal obstruction is common in infancy, a problem which is compounded by the fact that infants tend to be obligatory nasal breathers. Most frequently such obstruction is associated with non-specific rhinitis, episodes of which are fortunately not usually severe, are of short duration, and respond to conservative measures such as instillation of saline or sodium bicarbonate solutions and aspirat...

Nasal obstruction in the newborn.

Dunn University of Bristol The relatively narrow nasal passages of the newborn infant create a high resistance to airflow and are readily occluded. Most newborn infants are 'obligatory' nose-breathers for the first few weeks of life, except when crying. Thus the newborn infant is peculiarly ...

Congenital Neonatal Intestinal Obstruction

Intestinal obstructions among neonates are almost always congenital and pose a huge challenge for the neonatal as well as for the pediatric surgeons globally. The different physiological features from older children place all neonates in a unique group of population. Neonates with intestinal obstructions constitute major cause of surgical admissions in all pediatric hospitals. In a very superfi...
