Rhinomanometry, a tool measuring nasal airflow and resistance, often fails to align with patients' perceived breathing comfort. Patient-reported improvements in nasal breathing are more significant than objective measurements suggest.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Medical Engineering

Background:

  • Recurrent maxillary sinusitis impacts patients' quality of life.
  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) aims to improve sinonasal function.
  • Subjective patient experience is a critical outcome in nasal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the correlation between objective rhinomanometric measurements and subjective airflow sensation.
  • To determine if rhinomanometry accurately reflects patient-reported nasal breathing improvement after uncinectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Sixteen patients with recurrent maxillary sinusitis underwent uncinectomy.
  • Rhinomanometry was performed pre- and post-surgery to measure nasal airflow and resistance.
  • Subjective airflow sensation was assessed using a visual scale before and after surgery.

Main Results:

  • Objective rhinomanometric measurements showed no significant change post-uncinectomy.
  • Patients reported a significant improvement in their subjective sensation of nasal airflow.
  • A discrepancy was observed between objective nasal resistance/airflow and patient perception.

Conclusions:

  • Rhinomanometric measurements may not reliably correlate with a patient's subjective experience of nasal airflow.
  • Patient comfort and perceived breathing improvement are paramount, suggesting limited clinical utility for rhinomanometry in this context.
  • Focusing on patient-reported outcomes is crucial for evaluating the success of sinonasal interventions.
