Departamento de Otorrinolaringología, Valencia General Hospital, Spain.

Nasal mucociliary transport has been studied using the seroalbumin-Tc99m radioisotope method in 10 adults and 10 normal newborns under 28 days of age. The mean transport velocity was 8 and 6 mm/min for the normal adults and newborns, respectively, with no significant differences between the two (P = 0.07).

D009079	Mucociliary Clearance	A non-specific host defense mechanism that removes MUCUS and other material from the LUNGS by ciliary and secretory activity of the tracheobronchial submucosal glands. It is measured in vivo as mucus transfer, ciliary beat frequency, and clearance of radioactive tracers.
