Abstract:

Relevance. Despite the widespread use of nasal irrigation in routine medical practice and a significant list of salt solution for nasal irrigation on the pharmaceutical market, contradictions remain in understanding of process essence, when salt solution acts on the mucous membrane of nasal cavity and evaluation of their effectiveness. Aim — analysis of current data of frequency, methods and efficiency of systematic nasal irrigation and effect of salt solution at the mucous membrane of nasal cavity. Results. In review the authors generalized and analyzed recent information about meaning of nasal irrigation for upper respiratory tract disease, about role of nasal mucus at maintaining homeostasis in nasal cavity and initial respiratory tract in general. Describes the data about effect of nasal irrigation on antinfectious protect of mucous membrane of nasal cavity.
