Effects of Low Temperature Plasma Radiofrequency Ablation of Turbinate on Nasal Structure,Nasal Mucociliary Clearance and Airway Resistance in Patients with Chronic Hyperplastic Rhinitis
Objective To analyze the effects of low temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation of turbinate on nasal structure,nasal mucociliary clearance and airway resistance in patients with chronic hyperplastic rhinitis.Methods 100 pa-tients with chronic hyperplastic rhinitis treated from August 2023 to August 2024 were selected and divided into observation group and control group,50 cases in each group according to the parity of cases.The observation group was treated with low temperature plasma radiofrequency inferior turbinate ablation,and the control group was treated with nasal endoscopic partial resection of inferior turbinate.The therapeutic effect,surgical indexes,nasal structure,mucociliary clearance function and airway resistance were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of obser-vation group was higher than that of control group(P<0.05).The operation time,postoperative nasal pain time and hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the intraoperative blood loss was less than that in the control group(P<0.01).After treatment,the vertical distance between the bottom margin of the inferior turbinate and the nasal base and the horizontal distance between the innermost margin of the inferior turbinate and the nasal septum in the observation group were longer than those in the control group,and the maximum horizontal thickness of the inferior turbinate was lower than that in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05,P<0.01).After treatment,the mucociliary clearance rate and mucociliary clearance rate of observation group were higher than those of control group,and the saccharin clearance time was lower than that of control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).After treatment,the total respiratory impedance Z5,total airway resistance R5 and resonance frequency of 2 groups were decreased,and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion In the treatment of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis,low temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation of turbinate can achieve remarkable results,optimize the surgical indicators,and promote the structural and functional recovery of nasal cavity,airway and nasal mucus.
