(en) Nasal irrigation is widely practiced in infants, but its execution varies greatly. Although a consensus on how to perform this procedure has been published, supporting experimental evidence is lacking. In vitro investigations using anatomical models are a promising first step toward clinical research. Quantitative, exploratory data on pediatric nasal irrigation, obtained from a pragmatic irrigation setup, are needed.
