Abstract

Nasal obstruction is one of the major reasons for patients with nasal pathology to visit physicians. Since nasal obstruction is a subjective complaint, objective methods may be used for diagnosis in addition to the history and physical examination. At present, acoustic rhinometry and rhinoma- nometry are the frequently preferred objective diagnostic modality. So far, no single diagnostic method is sufficient by itself for the evalua- tion of nasal obstruction. Peak nasal inspiratory flowmetry is a physiologic method for the mea- surement of peak flow in response to deep nasal inspiration. It is very economic, portable and easy to measure compared to other objective methods, and is getting routinely used more and more in European countries. Although its effectivity and wide usage are supported by a number of studies in the literature, it has not been used sufficiently in our country.

Özet

Burun tıkanıklığı, nazal patolojisi bulunan hastala- rın en sık doktora başvurma nedenleri arasındadır. Burun tıkanıklığı subjektif bir yakınma olması nede- niyle tanı koyma ve tedavi sonuçlarını değerlendirme aşamasında en doğru sonuca ulaşılabilmesi için öykü ve klinik muayene ile birlikte objektif yöntem- lerden de yararlanılmalıdır. Günümüzde akustik rino- metri ve rinomanometri sıklıkla başvurulan objektif yöntemlerdir. Ancak şu ana kadar geliştirilen tanı yöntemlerinden hiçbiri nazal tıkanıklığı değerlen- dirmede tek başına yeterli olamamıştır. Tepe nazal inspiratuvar akımmetre, derin nazal inspirasyonla oluşan tepe akımını ölçen fizyolojik bir yöntemdir. Diğer objektif tanı yöntemlerine kıyasla oldukça eko- nomik, taşınabilir ve kolay ölçüm yapılabilmesi nede- niyle Avrupa ülkelerinde rutin klinik kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Etkinliği ve yaygın kullanım alanı, yapılmış birçok çalışma ile kanıtlanmış olmasına kar- şın ülkemizde yeteri kadar kullanılmamaktadır.
