Non-Surgical Treatment of Otitis Media with Effusion in Children: Efficacy of Middle Ear Inflation with a Politzerization Device*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conclusions: Once a week middle ear inflation over a 4-week period was efficacious in the treatment of OME in the shortterm but it did not provide satisfactory long-term benefits. Autoinflation may avoid the need for drugs or surgery for middle ear effusion and it may be considered as an alternative to the other choices of treatment of OME. However, further efficacy studies investigating the ideal frequency of application of Politzerization and optimal duration of this conservative treatment are required.
