Description

For efficient treatment of acute and chronic sinusitis with a nebulizer, it is important for the aerosol generated by the nebulizer to be deposited precisely where it is needed-in the sinus cavities. During inhalation therapy with the frequently used jet nebulizers and ultrasonic nebulizers, the transport of the aerosol particles is directly linked to the inspiratory force. Aerosol inhaled through the nose flows into the lungs, but does not reach the sinus cavities because the ostia connecting the sinus cavities with the main nasal cavity are small and narrow channels. We had the opportunity to use a new inhalation device (PARI SINUS) which combines high pressure and vibration for optimized aerosol deposition in the sinus cavities. The addition of vibration leads to deposition of the aerosol within the sinus cavities. We report the characteristics of the PARI SINUS device and the first treatment experiences in a patient group. The results were evaluated using a detailed patient's questionnaire.
