title: [Use of "rinoflow" inhalation in treatment of paranasal sinusitis].
abstract: The inflammatory pathologies of the ENT tract are often characterized by presence of catarral, mucous-purulent and crusty secretions. In such cases, an efficient therapy has to change the dense secretions as first and then remove them. "Rinoflow" is a compressor-micronizer chamber system specially designed for treatment of affections of upper respiratory tract. We used Rinflow in treatment of 62 patients (23 female and 39 male, mean age 42.7 years) with chronic paranasal sinusitis. The results of treatment were estimated by patients, physicians and X-ray examinations. We observed in 37 patients (59.7%) good results after treatment. The use of "rinoflow" was practically effected when the secretions were blocking the natural ostium of paranasal sinuses.
