Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different nasal irrigation (NI) methods for relieving nasal obstruction on pain, crying and procedure times, and physiologic parameters in infants with acute upper respiratory tract infection.

Conditions

  • Nasal Congestion
  • Nursing

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Nasal irrigation with isotonic saline

Infants were placed on the examination stretcher in the right or left lateral position. Then, 10 mL of isotonic saline solution was administered over 5 s into the upper nasal cavity of the infant. The secretion and irrigation solution from the lower nasal cavity were cleaned using gauze. The infant was placed on the other side, and the same procedure was repeated for the other nasal cavity. The infant was then placed in the prone position, and the tapotement technique was applied. The infant's mouth and nose were cleaned with gauze, completing the procedure.

PROCEDURE

Nasal irrigation with hypertonic saline

Infants were placed on the examination stretcher in the right or left lateral position. Then, 10 mL of hypertonic saline solution was administered over 5 s into the upper nasal cavity of the infant. The secretion and irrigation solution from the lower nasal cavity were cleaned using gauze. The infant was placed on the other side, and the same procedure was repeated for the other nasal cavity. The infant was then placed in the prone position, and the tapotement technique was applied. The infant's mouth and nose were cleaned with gauze, completing the procedure.

PROCEDURE

Nontraumatic nasopharyngeal aspiration

After nasal irrigation, the secretions and saline solution from the underlying nasal cavity were nontraumatically aspirated from the entrance of the nasal cavity after the irrigation. The infant was positioned on the other side, and the same procedure was repeated for the other nasal cavity. The infant was then placed in the prone position, and the tapotement technique was applied. The infant's mouth and nose were cleaned with gauze, completing the procedure.
