Abstract

According to statistics, the most common complaint to an ENT doctor is difficulty in nasal breathing. The leading cause of such complaints is the curvature of the nasal septum, vasomotor and hypertrophic rhinitis. These conditions cause changes in the quality of life in the human body, and most importantly, the development of chronic diseases. The purpose of the study: to identify general patterns in patients with nasal obstruction, to develop recommendations for managing patients in the postoperative period. Patients and methods. In the period from 2018 to 2020, we examined 96 people aged 20 to 40 years: 72 of them were men, 24 were women with varying severity of nasal obstruction syndrome. The control group consisted of 16 people who did not complain of difficulty in nasal breathing. The patients were divided into two groups: those who received conservative treatment, and the group that was planned to undergo a surgical intervention aimed at eliminating nasal obstruction. Further, in patients of both groups, indicators of the acid-base state of venous blood were evaluated. Results. Indicators of the acid-base state of venous blood in patients of the group treated with a course of nasal decongestants and intranasal glucocorticosteroids remained practically unchanged after the treatment. Recovery of indicators of the acid-base state of venous blood in patients who underwent surgery is fully determined by the third month after the surgical treatment. Conclusions: The prevalence of diseases, including the hypoxic component, determines the need to study and understand the mechanisms of hypoxia, as well as the issues of eliminating oxygen deficiency, the process of adaptation to it.
