Use of rhinomanometry in common rhinologic disorders
Abstract
Rhinomanometry is a functional test of nasal aerodynamics that measures transnasal airflow and the pressure gradient allowing nasal resistance to be calculated from these data. Three methods of rhinomanometry that are currently in use are anterior rhinomanometry, posterior (peroral) rhinomanometry and postnasal (pernasal) rhinomanometry. The usefulness of this method has increased owing to the development of technology and use of microcomputers connected to the measuring devices. Rhinomanometry can be used for: clinical evaluation of the symptom of nasal obstruction; research in nasal physiology; allergy challenge testing; pre- and post-treatment assessments of surgical or medical therapy; and evaluation of patients with sleep apnea.

About 10% of AARMN measurements are false owing to movement of the tongue, salivation, or swallowing.
“About 10% of measurements are false owing to movement of the tongue, salivation, or swallowing [41,42].”
From Position Paper on Nasal Obstruction: Evaluation and Treatment (2018) · cites this paper as [42]
Acoustic rhinometry (AcR) is much better than AARMN for the nasal provocation test because it measures volume and minimum transverse area quickly, directly, simply, and with high sensitivity and specificity.
“AcR is much better than AARMN for the nasal provocation test, since it measures the volume and minimum transverse area (MTA) of the nasal passages quickly, directly, simply, and with high sensitivity and specificity [42,49,50].”

If nasal resistance increases by 100% or more, the AARMN result is considered positive.
“If nasal resistance increases by 100% or more, the result is considered positive [42,44].”

A new 4-phase calculation algorithm for AARMN includes all phases of the nasal respiratory cycle, namely acceleration and deceleration in inspiratory and expiratory phases.
“A new 4-phase calculation algorithm was recently proposed for AARMN and includes all phases of the nasal respiratory cycle, namely, acceleration and deceleration, both in inspiratory and expiratory phases.”

The new AARMN algorithm is intended to introduce measurement of parameters that would correlate better with the subjective sensation of nasal breathing.
“In addition to obtaining quantitative values, this is intended to introduce the measurement of parameters that would correlate better with the subjective sensation of nasal breathing [42,45].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
