Abstract

The techniques currently used in assessment of nasal respiration with classification and comparative analysis, own experience with maintenance of ATMOS-200 rhinomanometer are outlined. Nasal respiration is best to assess objectively with devices estimating aerodynamic resistance of the nose. The techniques of the anterior and posterior active rhinomanometry (rhinoresistometry) are effective. Acoustic rhinometry is a good adjuvant.
