Nasal ventilation can be ascertained with the aid of rhinomanometry. In fact, even a trivial nasal allergic reaction can be detected through the use of the intranasal provocation test, coupled with rhinomanometrics. The different rhinomanometric measurement procedures, including determination of active and passive rhinomanometry, will be discussed in the following article. The advantages and disadvantages of each will be elaborated. The application of the active rhinomanometry however, invites not only certain technical errors but errors of method as well. These will be individually discussed in more detail.
