rhinomanometry

ENT A technique for evaluating nasal patency or obstruction, and airflow by simultaneously measuring transnasal pressure and airway resistance, and pressure-flow characteristics. Types–Anterior A pressure tap is inserted into a sealed nostril. Posterior A face mask is combined with a pressure tap in the oral cavity or oropharynx; used to measure net bilateral airflow resistance. Unilateral posterior One nostril is taped during the procedure. Cf Acoustic rhino(mano)metry, Nasal airway resistance.
