Evaluating nebulisation and nasal irrigation efficiency in post-operative chronic rhinosinusitis patients through computational fluid dynamics simulation
These findings emphasise the importance of adapting drug delivery strategies to specific surgical and anatomical factors. Tailored post-operative protocols may enhance outcomes in CRS, potentially improving patient comfort and compliance, and reducing recurrence rates. Further investigations are warranted to precisely quantify the liquid layer thickness remaining after irrigation, particularly as head movements can result in medication flowing back from sinuses into the nasal cavity.
