TABLE 17: Comparison of pre and post Septoplasty+FESS SNOT-22 scores [n=04]-
Pre-op mean score(SD) Post-op mean score(SD) Mean difference(SD) Standard error
(SE) &
‘T’ score ‘p’ value Inference
40.25(6.18) 13.75(2.87) 26.50
(5.45) SE=2.73
T=9.72 0.002309 Highly Significant at p<0.05

Thus on applying the paired ‘T’ test in comparison of pre and post SNOT-22 scores in all cases ‘p’ value was very less than 0.05 which is highly significant statistically. It means post operative improvement after septoplasty, FESS and Septoplasty+FESS was drastic.

    As vasoconstriction increases due to increased pulmonary vascular resistance hypoxia occurs and eventually respiratory acidosis and is monitored through arterial blood gases (Kuhajda et al., 2014). Upon examination patient appears to be in respiratory distress - gasping for air and tracheal deviation as the lung space has decreased and pressures continue to rise, neck vein distention due to altered cardiac output, cyanosis and agitation set in as time goes on due to hypoxia and the increasing difficulty to breath (Crimlisk, 2010). Palpation reveals subcutaneous emphysema as air is trapped within the tissues. Upon listening to the patients chest there is reduced air entry and percussion reveals hyperresonance (Kuhajda et al., 2014).
