An analogue computing system for the measurement of nasal airway resistance (Rn) has been developed. The instrument operates on the principle of measuring the transnasal pressure required to generate a measured nasal airflow rate. The system computes and displays inspiratory or expiratory nasal airway resistance measured at a preselected flow rate. The values are updated on a breath-by-breath basis and presented to a multi-channel recorder and a digital panel meter for visualization. The continuous Rn (at all inspiratory and expiratory flow rates above zero) can also be recorded. Use of the instrument for the evaluation of nasal decongestants has been demonstrated. |
