| Popis: | Septal deviation is a frequently found state that varies from minor without interferences to severe cases of septal deviation that can cause nasal obstruction. Diagnosis of nasal obstruction is very complex and varies based on the anamnesis and physical examination due to the fact that it also requires supports from nasal obstruction measurement results. Nasal obstruction severity is defined by using scores. Visual analogue scale (VAS) is one of the parameters used for assessing nasal obstruction subjectively while peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) is used for objective assessment. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between VAS and PNIF before and after septoplasty. This was a quasiexperimental study with pre- and post- test design. Sampling was performed using consecutive sampling method. Sample was taken from patients who visited ORL-HNS clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in May 2013–June 2014 according to the inclusion criteria . The results showed that septoplasty improved the clinical symptoms in patients with septum deviation, increase PNIF score, and decrease VAS score after one month. In conclusions, there is a correlation between VAS and PNIF before and after septoplasty. |
