Abstract
N2O and intermittent positive pressure respiration prior to intubation raised the middle ear pressure in children with normal ears. In children with secretory ototis media, N2O was responsible for aeration alone and this was seen only in children with some gas present prior to surgery. Wide range tympanometry accurately predicted the findings at myringotomy.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
