Q

with a child who has a risk of upper respiratory infection why does it risk OME?

A

because ET is opened to the nasopharynx and is surrounded by soft muscles and with inflammation of upper respiratory, these muscles swell and it closes off opening of ET, hard for it to drain
connection to the back of throat to the middle ear

36
Q

hwen do you recommend they come back and follow up and give antibiotics for 7 days?

A

2-3weeks to make sure the fluid has been absorbed

37
Q

om classification based on fluid

A

Serous OM (SOM - clear)
Mucoid OM (MOM - thick and colored)
Purulent OM (POM - odorous and thick)
“Glue ear”

38
Q

Serous OM (SOM -

A

clear fluid, not infected

39
Q

why are infants being breast fed less likely to be affected?

A

antibodies that go through placenta and when theyy are born, breast feeding, immunogobulins are delivered to baby through the breast milk
immune system is building in first 3 months of life

40
Q

Mucoid OM (MOM

A

pussy, coloredv= infection because it is pussy (yellow, green, etc.)
thick and colored

41
Q

Purulent OM (POM

A

odorous and thick

42
Q

what is glue ear

A

used to describe chronic mucoiud OM

If chronic low grade ME infection persists due to chronic ET dysfunction it will lead to the ME cavity filling with gelatinous inflammatory exudate/cellular debris - the “glue” of glue ear

This process may lead to retraction of the TM and ultimately formation of retraction pockets and bone erosion

self limiting in most cases

43
Q

what are risk factors for OME

A

age (peak bw 6-11 mos)
ET dysfunction
craniogacial anomalies (increased with cleft lip/palate and down’s)
decreased risk for breast fed
day care attendance
usceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections (URTI)/allergies
Smoking in the home including second-hand smoke
Family history of OME
Male
Low birth weight (< 1500 grams or 3.3 lbs)
Socio-economic status (SES): Inverse relationship between SES and OME probably because of lack of access to health care, poor diet and overcrowding

44
Q

what are symptoms of OME

A

Otalgia
Fever
otalgia & fever an be absent in older children
Erythema (redness) of the TM
Effusion in the ME
Irritability/fussiness
May not want to eat
Inconsistent responses to sound
Delayed speech and language development
Reduced attention span especially in the classroom

45
Q

what could OME otososcopy look like

A

Discolored/red TM
Opacification of normally lustrous TM
Partial/complete bulging of TM with obliteration of malleolar handle
Retracted TM
Perforation of TM
Fluid line or bubbles observe in the middle ear

46
Q

what is opacification

A

blurring/spreading of the cone of light

47
Q

what could you see for immitance results on OM

Flat (Type B) tympanogram
Negative pressure >200 daPa (Type C) tympanogram
Flat high volume (Type B - high volume) tympanogram consistent with TM perforation
Inability to get a hermetic seal (with perforation) in older equipment
Abnormal (elevated)/absent ARTs

48
Q

what would you see for unilateral OM in ARTs

A

Typical only the ipsilateral ART will be present on the unaffected side

49
Q

for bilateral OM what would you see in ARTs

A

Ipsilateral and contralateral ARTs will be abnormal for both ears

50
Q

children ECV

A

around 1 to 1.2 ml

51
Q

what pure tone results could you see

w/in normal limits (</= 20dB HL)
may be abg exceeding 10 HL (conductive component)
fluctuating HL
chl not exceeding 60-65 dB
possible rising or reverse slope configuration of hearing loss

52
Q

if you have a r om, what would l art look like

A

left ipsi would only be noral
contra would need to be elevated/abs in order for it to cros over to the unaffected side

53
Q

what speech audiometry results would we expect with OM

A

normal supras (WRS)
sr-pta are in good agreement

54
Q

what is a rising configuration?

A

abnormal lf and rising to normal or close to normal hf hearing

55
Q

what is a sloping configuration?

A

normal to near normal lf and hf abnormal hearing

56
Q

normal to near normal lf and hf abnormal hearing

A

middle ear

57
Q

what would you expect speech to be with CHL with om

A

srt and pta will be in agreement (both are threshold tests)

58
Q

what is a max chl

A

if loss goes below this level, bone shifts as well (some involvement of a cochlear loss)
around 60-65dB after this it starts to effect bone and shifts to a mixed loss

59
Q

what is the most common configuration for chl

A

rising
abg
low frequency loss
around 2-3000 becomes normal

60
Q

do all chl look the same

A

many different patterns for middle ear pathology and om depending on severity of the condition
have to be aware of what to expect
many ways it can present itself

61
Q

critical learnig language period

A

0-3

62
Q

what are the consequences of OM

A

permanent/temporary chl
damage to me structures
cholesteatoma
permanent hf snhl

63
Q

how can we get permanent hf snhl with om

A

Inner ear structures affected by passive diffusion or active transportation of toxins through round window membrane resulting in a permanent SNHL

64
Q

what damage to middle ear structures do we see with om

A

can lead to ossicular destruction and conductive hearing loss, common with “glue ear”

Release of inflammatory mediators in ME space and release of specific enzymes, such as collagenase, a tissue destructive protease, that can lead to ossicular destruction and conductive hearing loss, common with “glue ear

65
Q

A
66
Q

what higher order auditory fxn do we see ome

85
Q

A

prevention
