Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the distribution of nasal resistance in a healthy white population. One hundred subjects without nasal complaints were selected for the investigation. The test subjects were divided into two groups on the basis of anterior rhinoscopy. Group 1 included 60 subjects with rhinoscopically normal noses. Group 2 included 40 subjects with rhinoscopically abnormal noses. The pressure-flow data were recorded via active anterior mask rhinomanometry. The analogue pressure and flow signals were sampled and digitized by a computer system according to the time averaging method. Nasal resistance was calculated according to the recommendations of the International Committee on Standardization of Rhinomanometry. The normality of unilateral nasal resistance data distributions was assessed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Goodness of Fit Test at inspiratory and expiratory corresponding pressures of 50 Pa, 75 Pa, 100 Pa, and 150 Pa. The distributions of the calculated total resistance data were estimated at inspiratory and expiratory reference pressures of 75 Pa and 100 Pa. The data distributions of the two groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test. Distributions for unilateral resistance were frequently fou...Continue Reading
