THE NOSE KNOWS: NASAL FUNCTION AND RESISTANCE
Karen Davidson, DHA, MSA, MEd., MSN, RN

August 19, 2021 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm EDT

This webinar will introduce the audience to nasal function and resistance, the importance of the nose as its own “organ”, why it is relevant in many aspects of medicine, the measurement technique of nasal function, treatment options for nasal resistance, and how to collaborate among the many medical professionals when treating nasal resistance. The importance of understanding nasal function is based on the study of nasal resistance to airflow. Over the years, the importance of nasal resistance and function has been researched but not brought to the forefront until the past few years, especially with the association of olfactory disfunction. Also, it is an important consideration in the times of COVID-19.

Dr. Karen Davidson has held many positions in the medical device industry over the past 25 years, specifically in the ENT and Sleep markets, and 29 years of clinical experience to include service as a Flight Nurse in the US Air Force Reserves. She serves as the Vice President at GM Instruments, Ltd. and research partner with the Harrison COVISD-19 Research group with a special interest in and published on the technology of objective nasal measurements, nasal physiology, clinical application, reimbursement, health economics, and health policy. She is adjunct faculty at Central Michigan University, Health Administration Division, School of Health Professions and Liberty University, School of Health Sciences.  She is a  graduate of UNC Chapel Hill School of Nursing, University of Phoenix, and Central Michigan University.  She is the recipient of Central Michigan University’s Outstanding Dissertation Award for academic research. Dr. Davidson is currently a co-author of two books writing a chapter about nasal function and resistance.
