Abstract

Introduction: 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. Aim: This paper describes the results of a study into the effects of flowmeter design on rhinomanometry results and detection of nasal airflow asymmetry. Material and methods: Four flowmeters were examined using a 3D printed model of a human nose. Conclusions: Each flowmeter interfered with the rhinomanometry results.
