目的：腺样体扁桃体肥大是儿童上气道阻塞的最常见原因。许多研究人员分析了这种疾病的后果。目的：研究腺样体肥大患儿的肺功能和鼻流量的评估方法：研究组包括30例腺样体肥大手术治疗的儿童。结果：腺样体肥大患儿术前、术后鼻通气量及肺功能参数VC、FVC、PEF、FEV 1/PEF、FEV 1/FVC比较，差异有统计学意义。结论：腺样体肥大对儿童肺功能的影响是肯定的。(c)2007爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the most common cause of upper airways obstruction in children. The consequences of this disorder were analyzed by many researchers. The aim of the study was the assessment of pulmonary function and nasal flow in children with adenoid hypertrophy.Methods: The study group covered 30 children treated surgically due to adenoid hypertrophy. Nasometric and spirometric tests were performed before and after surgery.Results: The results revealed statistically significant differences between pre- and post-operative values of nasometric flows and the following spirometric parameters: VC, FVC, PEF, FEV1/PEF and FEV1/FVC.Conclusion: The influence of adenoid hypertrophy on pulmonary function in children has been confirmed on the basis of the conducted research.
