For many years ENT-specialists have performed surgery to create a good air passage in patients with different kinds of nasal deformities. When having a blocked nose one realizes the importance of being able to breathe through the nose. By moving the nasal wings aside with the fingers, or the medical device Nozovent, most people experience that it is easier to breathe through the nose than ever before, which can also be shown with rhinomanometry. When it is easier to inhale there is less energy in the air passing the palate which means less risk for vibrations creating snoring sounds. In different studies it has been possible to show that snoring can be decreased or prevented when the nasal dilator Nozovent is used. It has also been shown to result in a decrease of the sleep apnoea index and improvement of arterial oxygen saturation during sleep apnoea.
多年来，耳鼻喉科专家一直通过手术为患有各种鼻畸形的患者建立良好的气道。当鼻子堵塞时，人们就会意识到能够通过鼻子呼吸的重要性。用手指或使用医疗设备Nozovent将鼻翼拨开时，大多数人会体验到通过鼻子呼吸比以往任何时候都更容易，这也可以通过鼻阻力测量法得到证明。当吸气更容易时，通过上颚的空气中的能量就会减少，这意味着产生打鼾声的振动风险也会降低。在不同的研究中已经表明，使用鼻扩张器Nozovent可以减少或预防打鼾。研究还表明，它可以降低睡眠呼吸暂停指数，并改善睡眠呼吸暂停期间的动脉血氧饱和度。
