ABSTRACT
Abstract. Rationale. Pathologies of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are highly prevalent both among adults and children. The complex geometry of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a necessary condition for ensuring the physiological functions of the nose and the subjective sensation of the very fact of nasal breathing. For the surgeon, restoring full air flow in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a key goal in normalizing the patient’s nasal breathing. To diagnose early functional disorders in the nasal cavity as well as for timely correction of pathological conditions or identification of risk groups, noninvasive, accurate, objective methods for studying the respiratory function of the nose are needed. In addition, more and more disputes arise on the part of insurance companies about the legality of surgical interventions based on the patient’s subjective complaints of insufficiency of nasal breathing, which requires a modern doctor to use objective research methods to determine indications for surgery and documented assessment of treatment results. Purpose of the study. Comparative analysis of modern methods for diagnosing nasal breathing.
