 Nasal irrigation using saline is usually performed to remove nasal clots after endoscopic sinus surgery;however, some patients have irregular work schedules, go on business trips, and even find nasal irrigation intolerable.

 For these patients, we recommend a nasal saline spray(DRY NOSE SPRAYTM), with a single puff at a volume of approximately 0.2 mL as a substitute for nasal irrigation. The nasal saline spray method for clot removal differs from the nasal irrigation method. In this study, we report the clinical experience of 20 patients who used the nasal saline spray instead of undergoing nasal irrigation after nasal surgery. Eight items were evaluated in five levels:(1)abnormal nasal sensation,(2)clot volume,(3)nasal obstruction,(4)method complexity(5)portability,(6)intranasal clot volume,(7)nasal mucosal edema, and(8)intranasal adhesion. Based on the results, we found that the nasal saline spray method improved all the aforementioned items, thereby indicating its effectiveness. The nasal saline spray is evidently handy and easy to operate, and its application is not complicated;thus, spraying can be conveniently performed to keep the nasal cavity moisturized. This suggests that spraying is beneficial for patients who are unable to undergo nasal irrigation for some reason. In the future, we anticipate the application of the nasal saline spray method after nasal surgery.
