Standardization of rhinomanometry.

Current methods of rhinomanometry used by various workers from around the world were investigated. The data for this communication were based on the studies of 11 scientists who have an accumulation of approximately 81 years of experience with more than 20,000 rhinometric examinations. The results of this survey provide a consensus of methods, procedures, data collection, and presentation which should be considered so that rhinomanometric uniformity may be achieved. It is fully recognized that standardization of rhinomanometry requires further inquiry and evaluation and that this is not the final communication on the subject but merely a current consensus from a limited few working in the field.
