With the passive anterior rhinomanometry technique, it was shown that children aged 3 to 6 years did not have an alternating nasal cycle. However, during a 61/4-hour period, there was a quite regular pattern of fluctuations of the nasal resistance. Important fluctuations of the nasal resistance in the left and right nasal cavity are happening in the same sense; we could call it "solidary movements" or "solidary cycle." This means that the total nasal resistance in these children is not at all constant during the day. The mean duration of such a "cycle" is 57 minutes, and the mean amplitude is 16.0 mm H2O for the left and right nasal cavity and 6.5 mm H2O for the total nasal resistance.
采用被动前鼻测压技术发现，3至6岁的儿童不存在交替性鼻周期。然而，在6.25小时的时间段内，鼻阻力存在相当规律的波动模式。左右鼻腔的鼻阻力重要波动是同向发生的；我们可以称之为“同步运动”或“同步周期”。这意味着这些儿童的总鼻阻力在白天根本不是恒定的。这样一个“周期”的平均持续时间为57分钟，左右鼻腔的平均幅度为16.0毫米水柱，总鼻阻力的平均幅度为6.5毫米水柱。
