    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Rhinology

    Background:

    • Nasal obstruction is a common symptom with subjective and objective components.
    • Accurate assessment of nasal obstruction is crucial for effective treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the adrenaline contraction test combined with rhinomanometry for assessing nasal obstruction.
    • To determine the accuracy of the adrenaline contraction test in reflecting subjective nasal obstruction and objective nasal resistance.

    Main Methods:

    • Nasal resistance was measured using rhinomanometry (oscillation method).
    • The adrenaline contraction test was employed to assess changes in nasal resistance and sensation.
    • Correlation between subjective sensation of nasal obstruction and objective nasal resistance was analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Increased sensation of nasal obstruction correlated with increased nasal resistance.
    • The adrenaline contraction test improved the accuracy of assessing nasal obstruction sensation.
    • In patients undergoing septoplasty and conchotomy, the adrenaline contraction test showed a 30-40% change in nasal resistance (BNR).
    • Preoperative BNR rates below 20% predicted significant changes in unilateral rhinomanometry (>40%).

    Conclusions:

    • The adrenaline contraction test is a valuable tool for accurately assessing subjective nasal obstruction.
    • Indications for reconstructive nasal surgery can be guided by specific BNR and unilateral rhinomanometry change rates.
    • The test's ability to predict postoperative nasal resistance supports its use in evaluating surgical success.
