Myringotomy is a commonly performed procedure in pediatrics. The procedure involves placement of tubes within the middle ear to provide better drainage decreasing the risk of otitis media. Indication for the procedure includes recurrent otitis media episodes of six or more in one year, chronic serous otitis media, eustachian tube dysfunction and hearing loss [1]. The procedure begins with an incision of the tympanic membrane. A tympanostomy tube is placed within the incision allowing for equalization of pressure and drainage of fluid in the middle ear[2].
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Pulmonary | Assess for upper respiratory infection(URI), often patients have brief intervals between URI, if febrile illness is due to otitis media, may proceed with anesthesia. However, if febrile illness with lower respiratory tract infection, patient should not proceed with anesthesia |
| Other | Assess for conductive hearing loss |
Patient preparation and premedication
- PO midazolam for anxiety
- consider IN dexetomidine for anxiety and emergence delirium (alternatively, can administer intraoperatively)
- PO acetaminophen for pain
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- Standard ASA monitors
- Typically, no IV is placed. May consider placing PIV pending patient comorbidities
Induction and airway management
- Mask induction with sevoflurane +/- N2O
- Anesthesia mask kept on for the duration of the procedure
- Rarely place LMA (severe obstruction not relieved by oral airway placement), ETT (laryngospasm)
Positioning
- Supine with head turned away from surgical site
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- Maintained on volatile anesthetic via facemask
- Consider intramuscular fentanyl, toradol [3]
Emergence
- Emergence delirium common
Postoperative management
Disposition
- PACU
- Most cases discharged home
Pain management
- Minimal post-operative pain, preferably avoiding longer acting opioids
- Multimodal analgesia
Potential complications
- Laryngospasm
Procedure variants
| Myringotomy | |
|---|---|
| Unique considerations | Can be performed without IV access |
| Position | Supine |
| Surgical time | 5-10 minutes |
| EBL | Minimal |
| Postoperative disposition | Home |
| Pain management | Mild, multimodal |
| Potential complications | Laryngospasm |
