Effect of atropine on the eustachian tube function.
The effect of atropine on the eustachian tube function was studied by means of a recently designed method. The results out of 20 examined ears showed that atropine significantly reduced both active and passive functions of the eustachian tube. The findings are discussed and it is concluded that the method used might be a valuable tool in forthcoming studies of pharmacological effects on the eustachian tube function.
