Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the most common cause of upper airways obstruction in children. The consequences of this disorder were analyzed by many researchers. The aim of the study was the assessment of pulmonary function and nasal flow in children with adenoid hypertrophy.
The study group covered 30 children treated surgically due to adenoid hypertrophy. Nasometric and spirometric tests were performed before and after surgery.
The results revealed statistically significant differences between pre- and post-operative values of nasometric flows and the following spirometric parameters: VC, FVC, PEF, FEV1/PEF and FEV1/FVC.
The influence of adenoid hypertrophy on pulmonary function in children has been confirmed on the basis of the conducted research.
腺样体扁桃体肥大是儿童上呼吸道梗阻最常见的原因。许多研究人员分析了这种疾病的后果。本研究的目的是评估腺样体肥大儿童的肺功能和鼻气流情况。
研究组包括30例因腺样体肥大接受手术治疗的儿童。在手术前后进行了鼻测量和肺量计测试。
结果显示，鼻气流测量值以及以下肺量计参数（肺活量、用力肺活量、呼气峰流速、第一秒用力呼气容积/呼气峰流速和第一秒用力呼气容积/用力肺活量）的术前和术后值之间存在统计学上的显著差异。
根据所进行的研究，已证实腺样体肥大对儿童肺功能有影响。
