在某些情况下，客观评估鼻塞是很有价值的。在这项研究中，我们为此目的比较了两种不同的方法。前鼻孔测压是一种成熟的方法，用于测量鼻气道阻力（NAR）。将其与使用Youlten峰流量计测量的鼻吸气峰流量（NIPF）进行比较。在过敏性鼻炎患者中，在高渗盐溶液激发之前和之后进行评估。攻毒后，NIPF值平均下降17.4%，NAR上升15.6%。这两种方法之间也存在统计学显著的负线性相关（p <0.01）。我们的结论是，NIPF是一种廉价，易于执行和快速的方法，适用于评估鼻气道通畅性，例如在治疗期间和挑战期间过敏。
In several conditions objective assessment of nasal obstruction would be of great value. In this study we have compared two different methods for this purpose. Anterior rhinomanometry is a well established method, which measures nasal airway resistance (NAR). This was compared with nasal inspiratory peak flow (NIPF) measured with a Youlten peak flow meter. The assessments were undertaken in patients with allergic rhinitis, before and after challenge with hyperosmolar saline solution. After challenge there was a fall in NIPF value as a mean of 17.4%, that was mirrored by a rise in NAR of 15.6%. There was also a statistically significant negative linear correlation between these two methods (p less than 0.01). We conclude that NIPF is a cheap, easily performed and quick method suitable for assessing nasal airway patency in e.g. allergics during treatment and during challenge.
