“…Carbocysteine is the only currently recommended mucokinetic agent (in the Japanese guidelines only). It is used optionally with a view to reducing the production of mucus, promoting its excretion, and reducing the inflammation of adjacent organs while waiting for the surgical treatment (Ito et al., 2015). Mucokinetic agents might relieve the symptoms of OME but do not have proven long-term efficacy.…”

“…The placement of TTs (also referred to as grommets and ventilation tubes) is the benchmark treatment for persistent OME with a functional impact on hearing or with damage to the tympanic membrane (Simon et al., 2018). The indication for TT placement is an audiometric hearing loss of between 25 and 40 dB (Ito et al., 2015; Pediatric Group ENT society of CMA, 2008). It is also necessary to take account of individual difficulties related to this hearing loss, which vary from one child to another and are not always correlated with the hearing threshold.…”

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a frequent paediatric disorder. The condition is often asymptomatic, and so can easily be missed. However, OME can lead to hearing loss that impairs the child's language and behavioural development. The diagnosis is essentially clinical, and is based on otoscopy and (in some cases) tympanometry. Nasal endoscopy is only indicated in cases of unilateral OME or when obstructive adenoid hypertrophy is suspected. Otitis media with effusion is defined as the observation of middle-ear effusion at consultations three months apart. Hearing must be evaluated (using an age-appropriate audiometry technique) before and after treatment, so as not to miss another underlying cause of deafness (e.g. perception deafness). Craniofacial dysmorphism, respiratory allergy and gastro-oesophageal reflux all favour the development of OME. Although a certain number of medications (antibiotics, corticoids, antihistamines, mucokinetic agents, and nasal decongestants) can be used to treat OME, they are not reliably effective and rarely provide long-term relief. The benchmark treatment for OME is placement of tympanostomy tubes (TTs) and (in some cases) adjunct adenoidectomy. The TTs rapidly normalize hearing and effectively prevent the development of cholesteatoma in the middle ear. In contrast, TTs do not prevent progression towards tympanic atrophy or a retraction pocket. Adenoidectomy enhances the effectiveness of TTs. In children with adenoid hypertrophy, adenoidectomy is indicated before the age of 4 but can be performed later when OME is identified by nasal endoscopy. Children must be followed up until OME has disappeared completely, so that any complications are not missed.

“…La colocación de tubos transtimpánicos (también llamados de ventilación transtimpánicos, de timpanostomía o de equipresión) constituye el tratamiento de elección en pacientes con otitis seromucosa crónica con repercusión funcional [7] o en pacientes cuya membrana timpánica presente signos de sufrimiento [8]. Los tubos de equipresión transtimpánicos ayudan a ventilar el oído medio y, fundamentalmente, a equilibrar las presiones a cada lado de la membrana timpánica.…”

“…The main variable was the presence of OME. Otitis media with effusion was considered when the bilateral exudate or effusion persisted for more than 3 months, or more than 6 if it is unilateral [14,15]. The presence of trans-tympanic fluid was assessed by otoscopy and with the help of a portable tympanometer (MicroTymp`3®).…”

Introduction: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is common in pediatric primary care consultations. Its etiology is multifactorial, although it has been proven that inflammation factors mediate and that immunity is in a phase of relative immaturity. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of the Traditional Mediterranean Diet (TMD) modulating inflammation and immunity in patients diagnosed with OME.
