Ear Otovent By Shreyaas Health Care- Hearingequipments

Description

Auto inflation opens up and forces air through the eust a chian tube 1equalisation of the middle ear pressure 2tympanic membrane3 is normalized normal eardrumif the eustachian tube becomes blocked, the negative pressure with in the middle ear will draw the eardrum inwards. A middle ear e usion can develop and if not treated will become glue like in consistency. The otovent® method induces auto inflation of the middle ear by combining two clinically proven treatment techniques (valsalva and politzer). Otitis media with e usion (OME) how to use otovent®ome or glue ear is a very common condition that a ects 80 percent of children at some point during their childhood. Also known as secretory otit is media,otitis media with e usion or serous otitis media, more than 7 in 10 children have at least one episode of glueear before they are 4 years old, and boys are more commonly a ected than girls. 1otovent® both regulates and prevent so to vent® is the only clinically e ective, non surgical,drug free treatment for glue ear. Regulation of the pressure in the middle ear is a known and important mechanism in the treatment of disorders in the middle ear in children. Normally, the pressure in the middle ear is equalized by swallowing or yawning. Ifthe mechanisms for regulating negative pressure arenot fully e ective, after a few weeks gluey secretions develop, leading to hearing impairment. Otovent® is a proven first-line treatment option in which up to 50 percent of patients can avoid the insertion of tympano plasty tubes. A two-phase metho dusing a nose piece and balloon, a positive pressure is generated in the nasopharynx to equalize the negative pressure in the middle ear via the eusta chian tube. Children view blowing up the balloon as a game,improving compliance and ease of treatment. Nonegative eects have been reported or demonstrated in clinical trials. The otovent® method can be divided into two phases;inflation phase and defl ation phase. 1 inflation phase: induction of the valsalvamanoeuvre (forced expiration against a closed airway) increases the pressure with in the nasopharynx. Equalization of the middle ear may occur at this stage. 2 deflation phase: induction of the politzermanoeuvre (infl ating the middle ear whilesw allowing) inward moving air fl ows into the middle ear (eustachian tube opened whiles wallowing) to equalize the middle ear pressure.
