Abstrakt:	<b><br>Introduction:</b> Rhinomanometry is an otolaryngological diagnostic method used to determine airflow as a function of the pressure drop through the left and right nasal cavities. Airflow is measured using orifice flowmeters that attenuate the flow.</br> <b><br>Aim:</b> This paper describes the results of a study into the effects of flowmeter design on rhinomanometry results and detection of nasal airflow asymmetry.</br> <b><br>Material and methods:</b> Four flowmeters were examined using a 3D printed model of a human nose.</br> <b><br>Conclusions:</b> Each flowmeter interfered with the rhinomanometry results.</br>.
