Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of OSAHS on adult nasal-cycle.Method:The nasal cycle of 20 healthy adults,18 patients of snoring and 22 patients of OSAHS were examined with acoustic rhinometry,which was performed every 30 minutes in 7 hours.Result:The ratio of nasal cycle in healthy adults was(19/20,95.0%), in snoring patients was(15/18,83.0%),in patients of OSAHS was(15/22,68.2%). The mean alteration amplitude of nasal cycle in healthy adults was significantly larger than that in patients with OSAHS (P<0.05).The distribution of the healthy adults and patients with OSAHS between the typical cycle categories was significantly different(P<0.05).Conclusion:The characteristics of nasal-cycle in of OSAHS patients were different with healthy adults,which maybe owing to change of physical function of nasal cavity.
