Nasal nitric oxide measurement is a simple, painless test primarily used in children with a history of recurrent pneumonia to help rule out primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). The child exhales steadily through the nose while wearing a nose adaptor (like an olive). This test can also be performed in very young children.
