Avaliação da aeração nasal pré e pós a realização de manobras de massagem e limpeza nasal

Abstract: OBJETIVO: identificar a modificação da aeração nasal após a realização de manobras de massagem e limpeza nasal. MÉTODOS: vinte crianças na faixa etária de quatro a onze anos com diagnóstico de rinite alérgica foram submetidas à avaliação da aeração nasal com o auxílio do espelho milimetrado de Altmann. Inicialmente houve a marcação do ar expirado na placa metálica, posteriormente foram realizadas manobras de massagem e limpeza nasal para retirada da secreção, havendo uma nova marcação para a comparação dos res… Show more

“…An improvement in airflow was observed right after it, with measures of 16.6 cm 2 before and 20.3 cm 2 after (5) . These findings are not in concordance with ours, which reports 7.42 cm 2 for mouthbreathing patients and 16.96 cm 2 for nasal-breathing patients.…”

“…However, individuals with a lower possibility of nasal use showed a smaller haze area in the mirror. Regarding this aspect, we found a study in the literature made with children, in which the haze areas of pre and post nasal cleansing were measured, but the authors didn't address any of the issues studied in this research 22 . It is believed that oral breathers present certain disuse of the nasal passage, which explains the relation between the nasal use and the haze area of the mirror.…”

“…We suggest the Otorhinolaryngology evaluation be considered in future studies, enabling diagnosis of septal deviations, rhinitis, sinusitis and hypertrophy of palatine and/or pharyngeal tonsils. Additionally, for further studies, we suggest to include other instrumental evaluations, such as the acoustic rhinometry, which is a technique of objective evaluation of the nasal patency that allows to determine the cross-sectional area of any point between the nostril and the nasopharynx, providing accurate data 21,22 .…”
