对1971至1977年间因鼻科疾病在梅奥诊所就诊的1000名患者进行了鼻气阻力评估。863例患者以鼻塞为主要症状。鼻腔气道阻力与鼻侧及阻塞症状的严重程度密切相关。鼻塞症状通常发生在总鼻阻大于3cmH2O/L/S。鼻镜证据不能用来预测鼻阻的增加，因为许多鼻镜检查异常的患者具有“正常”鼻阻。结论：鼻气道阻力的计算在鼻塞的临床评估中是一项有用的技术。鼻道阻力数据提供了可以证实和量化鼻塞症状的客观数值。
Nasal airway resistance was evaluated in 1,000 patients who were seen at the Mayo Clinic between 1971 and 1977 for rhinologic complaints. Nasal obstruction was reported as the major symptom in 863 patients. Nasal airway resistance correlated well with the side and the severity of the obstructive symptoms. Symptoms of nasal obstruction typically occurred with a total nasal resistance greater than 3 cm H2O/L/s. Rhinoscopic evidence of nasal deformity could not be used to predict an increase in nasal resistance since many patients with rhinoscopically abnormal noses had "normal" nasal resistances. We conclude that the calculation of nasal airway resistance is a useful technique in the clinical evaluation of nasal obstruction. Nasal airway resistance data provide objective values that can substantiate and quantitate the symptoms of nasal obstruction.
