| ABSTRACT |
|
With and application of the spirometric measurement, peak expiratory flow rate(PEFR) were measured upon 31 cases of the septal deviation with significant nasal stuffiness, in order to analyze the ralationship between the grade of nasal stuffiness and the difference of the nasal airway resistence following septoplasty. The spirometric measurement was applied to the patients easily without any problem. The relative nasal airway resistence as measured through the mouth and nose tend to im crease with increasing grade of nasal stuffiness. Successful septoplasty reduced the relative nasal airway resistence as much as 17.7%, and was significant statistically(p<0.005). There was some, but not close, correlationship between the degree of improvement of nasal stuffiness and the difference of the ralative nasal airway resistence(0.025
