Effect of Ionized Nasal Saline Solution of Neutral Ph in Upper Respiratory Tract Infections and Pulmonary Function of Asthmatic Schoolchildren

Abstract

Relevance: Asthma affects 10 to 37% of the world population; it concurs with rhinitis. The administration on asthmatic children of nasal ionized saline solution that improves inspiratory and expiratory flows and lowers the infections of upper respiratory tract would contribute to achieve therapeutic goals of the condition.Objective: Determine the effect of the administration of nasal ionized saline solution on the nasal peak inspiratory flow, peak expiratory flow and frequency of respiratory infections on asthmatic children. Design:Test -Retest intervention study with 4 months' follow-up performed on asthmatic children in 2018. Analysis with Chi-Squared, Mann-Whitney U, Student's t and Friedman tests.
