Investigation of Repeatability of Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow Rate Measurements Under Baseline Conditions and After Administration of 0.05% Oxymetazoline

CONCLUSIONS: 1. No statistically significant difference was observed in PNIF values only between the fourth and fifth measurements; therefore, at least three measurements are essential to draw meaningful conclusions. 2. PNIF measurements were satisfactorily characterized by a relatively low CV (15%). 3. The administration of 0.05% oxymetazoline led to an increase in PNIF by approximately 14% over the baseline value.PMID:33957801 | DOI:10.1177/19458924211015584
