| Airway assessment by four-phase rhinomanometry in septal surgery |
| Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery - Most Popular Articles January 31, 2012, 7:00 am |
| Purpose of review: This article updates the state of the art in functional ventilation tests of the nasal airway. Multidisciplinary international cooperation has led within the last years to the development of four-phase rhinomanometry (4PR) by eradicating the errors of the ‘classic’ rhinomanometry.
Recent findings: Physical experiments, mathematical models and comprehensive |
