OBJECTIVES Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is a very common problem in children. Nasal Fiberoptic Endoscopy (NFE) represents the gold standard method to diagnose AH. Rhinomanometry represents a valid diagnostic support. The aim of our study was to analyze the grade of nasal obstruction caused by AH, in a group of children, with rhinomanometry standard and after ND test versus NFE. PATIENTS AND METHO...

INTRODUCTION Surgical and medical treatments of nasal obstruction are a common parts of otolaryngologist practice. The definitive treatment of deviated nasal septum is septoplasty. AIM In this study was to evaluate the values of subjective parameters, and active anterior rhinomanometry parameters prior and three months after the septoplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the subjective p...

Abstract Introduction: This paper describes the results of research aimed at developing a method otolaryngological diagnosis based on computational fluid dynamics, which has been called Virtual Rhinomanometry. Material and methods: Laboratory studies airflows through 3D printed model nasal cavities computed tomography image analysis have performed. The CFD compared with those an examination air...

Abstract Background Performing nasal surgery on children has been the subject of controversy among surgeons. Specifically, indications for and timing septoplasty in have debated last several decades. In this study, we access efficacy modified Goldman’s technique dealing with caudal septal deviation pediatric population suffering from severe obstruction its effect functions postoperatively. 30 p...

BACKGROUND Rhinitis and asthma share similar immunopathological features. Rhinomanometry is an important test used to assess nasal function and spirometry is an important tool used in asthmatic children. The degree to which the readouts of these tests are correlated has yet to be established. We sought to clarify the relationship between rhinomanometry measurements, fractional exhaled nitric ox...

OBJECTIVE Nasal airflow resistance, as measured by rhinomanometry, is frequently impaired in allergic rhinitis (AR). However, rhinomanometry is scarcely available. The aim of this study was to verify the suitability of the use of visual analog scales (VAS) as a surrogate for rhinomanometry in quantifying nasal obstruction in patients with persistent allergic rhinitis. STUDY DESIGN Prospective...

Computerized rhinomanometry with the practical software programmes is used widely as a research tool to evaluate objectively nasal air flow and resistance parameters, while the increase of its clinical application may be facilitated by further standardization of the method. The aim of the study was to determine the total nasal resistance normal values in healthy adult population using a method ...

The paper deals with a comparative analysis of aerodynamic nose drag coefficients based on the data front and rear active rhinomanometry. Functional disorders nasal breathing in future lead to further complications upper lower respiratory system, reduce quality life other pathological conditions. diagnosis such is complicated by low prevalence testing tools (rhinomanometers) medical practice pe...
