OTO-HNS 2008 FESS essential to allow for effective topical distribution to the sinuses Unoperated sinuses: distribution <2% with irrigation, <3% with nebulizers Harvey (2009) Variability in recommendations regarding method, frequency, and concentration (8s) QOE: Grade B & Saline vs. no peds rx or placebo; IS vs. HS Sx, imaging (IS vs HS) Saline irrigations recommended in medical management of routine Improve sx and QOL as sole or adjunct rx; No SS dif IS vs HS 1
