Effect of the temperature of nasal lavages on mucociliary clearance: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract: Nasal lavages with saline solution improve mucociliary clearance as measured by saccharin test. Temperature seems to matter, which should be taken into account when indicating nasal lavages to our patients.

“…Nasal mucociliary clearance, measured by this test, is known to have a good correlation with tracheobronchial mucociliary clearance (5,12). In addition, the saccharin test is inexpensive, simple to perform, noninvasive, and reproducible (5,7,12). Although this procedure has already been established, standard STs have yet to be determined.…”

“…It is a useful screening method to evaluate mucociliary clearance by measuring nasal mucociliary transit time, which represents tracheobronchial mucociliary clearance (6). Although the association between saccharin test results and nasal or respiratory diseases has been previously studied (7)(8)(9), the association with the development or increased risk of aspiration pneumonia in nursing home residents has not been fully examined. Thus, we hypothesized that impaired mucociliary clearance in nursing home residents is a risk factor for the development of pneumonia.…”

“…Em concordância com estudos prévios, neste estudo o uso de salinas, independente da concentração ou temperatura, aumentou o PFIN 17,18,23 . A comparação entre a variação percentual média da salina 0,9% com a salina 3% não mostrou diferença significativa, embora os resultados após o uso de salina a 3% tenham apresentado média maior, fato observado em estudo anterior 23 .…”

“…Kanjanawasee et al, em revisão sistemática, concluíram que a salina a 3% é superior à 0,9%. Se o aquecimento da salina melhora ou não o fluxo nasal, é assunto controverso, assim como qual temperatura seria ideal [16][17][18] .…”
