The historical development of nasal aerodynamic measurement is discussed. Attention is drawn to the absence of a consensus on adequate rhinometric techniques and standards, which hampers the elevation of rhinometry to the universal clinical status of audiometric, impedance, or nystagmus measurement. A computer-aided technique is described which overcomes some problems of rhinometry, by measurement of the amount of energy the body devotes to moving respiratory air through each separate nasal cavity. Although the approach is different, our preliminary results confirm previous work and suggest that assessment of the work of breathing is a promising technique in the investigation of nasal respiratory airflow.
本文讨论了鼻气流动力学测量的历史发展。值得注意的是，目前在合适的鼻测量技术和标准方面尚未达成共识，这阻碍了鼻测量法提升至听力测量、阻抗测量或眼球震颤测量那样的普遍临床地位。本文描述了一种计算机辅助技术，该技术通过测量身体用于使呼吸空气通过每个独立鼻腔的能量，克服了鼻测量法的一些问题。尽管方法不同，但我们的初步结果证实了先前的研究，并表明呼吸功评估在鼻呼吸气流研究中是一种有前景的技术。
