Paradoxical increase in nasal airway resistance following a topical nasal decongestant spray

Combined effects of a mechanical nasal dilator and a topical decongestant on nasal airflow resistance.

The goal of this study was to compare the isolated and combined effects of two treatments being used to reduce nasal airflow resistance (NR): an internal nasal mechanical dilator (Nozovent; Prevancure; Sté Pouret, Paris, France) and a topical decongestant, fenoxazoline hydrochloride (Aturgyl; Synthelabo; Le Plessis-Robinson, France). The study was performed in 17 healthy subjects. NR was estima...

The Efficacy of a Protocolized Nursing Care on Nasal Skin Breakdown in Preterm Neonates Receiving Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Background: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is an effective method of ventilation in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Using an appropriate nasal skin care protocol is identical to prevention or reduction of nasal skin breakdown in those who receive NCPAP. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence-based clinical care protocol on nasal sk...

Automating nasal spray analysis

Nasal sprays and aerosols are becoming increasingly popular methods for drug delivery. The nasal route is a non-invasive way of administering drugs with rapid uptake into the bloodstream and is considered to be important for the systematic delivery of proteins and other macromolecules. A key parameter in defining the efficiency of nasal aerosol delivery systems is the particle size distribution...
