The relationship of the nasal and the antral ventilation was studied with a plastinated model of a human nose. The effects of adenoidal hyperplasia and septal deviations on the antral ventilation were measured. It could be demonstrated that the aerodynamic effect of an obstruction within the nasal cavity largely depends on the localisation of the stenosis (anterior or posterior to the maxillary ostium). Additionally, the influence of an ostial obstruction on the antral ventilation was examined in dependence on the nasal ventilation. We were able to demonstrate that the antral pressure variations not only reflect the ostial function but as well the total aerodynamics of the upper respiratory tract. From this point of view we discuss diagnostic and therapeutic conclusions.
利用人体鼻部的塑化模型研究了鼻腔与鼻窦通气之间的关系。测量了腺样体增生和鼻中隔偏曲对鼻窦通气的影响。结果表明，鼻腔内阻塞的空气动力学效应很大程度上取决于狭窄部位（上颌窦口前方或后方）。此外，还根据鼻腔通气情况研究了窦口阻塞对鼻窦通气的影响。我们能够证明，鼻窦压力变化不仅反映窦口功能，还反映上呼吸道的整体空气动力学。从这一角度出发，我们讨论了诊断和治疗方面的结论。
