In this chapter, you will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for nasal and sinus examinations. These evaluation processes are essential for diagnosing and managing respiratory infections, allergic reactions, and sinusitis.

What You Will Learn in This Training

• Nasal Assessment: Examining the shape, sensitivity, and deformities of the external nose, evaluating nasal mucosa for color, moisture, and swelling, and checking nasal airflow and blockages.
• Sinus Assessment: Assessing tenderness in the maxillary and frontal sinuses through palpation, detecting fullness or tenderness via percussion, and using transillumination to evaluate fluid accumulation in the sinuses.

This chapter provides practical training using realistic scenarios in a virtual environment, helping you develop the ability to accurately analyze nasal and sinus findings.
