Effect of Irrigation bottle size on nasal saline irrigation following sinus surgery.

The intervention involves the use of a non-sterile, isotonic saline solution specifically designed for nasal irrigation. This solution aims to cleanse the nasal cavities, promoting the prevention of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) pathologies. By effectively clearing secretions, allergens, and irritants from the nasal passages, the intervention works to maintain a healthy nasal environment, hence expediting the post-surgery healing process. Participants will go on their irrigation 1 day post-surgery, meaning the intervention will start 1 day post-surgery. Participants in the study are instructed to self-administer the solution 4 times daily for a duration of 8 weeks. The control group will utilize a 200ml volume bottle, while the intervention group will employ a larger 400ml volume bottle during each administration. The entire volume, whether 200ml or 400ml, will be utilized in its entirety to cleanse both nasal cavities during each irrigation session. To monitor adherence and assess the impact of the intervention, patients will be provided with a daily diary to record their usage. These diary entries will be reviewed at each visit fortnightly to ensure consistency and gather valuable insights into the effectiveness of the nasal irrigation saline solution.
