title: [Vibro-pressure massage and vibro-aerosols in the treatment of middle ear diseases in children and youth].
abstract: Otitis media with effusion and eustachitis occur very often in childhood. In dependence on advanced of otitis media with effusion and eustachitis, we use surgical and nonsurgical treatment. In short-term otitis media with effusion and eustachitis performs tympanotomy, insufflation of the Eustachian tube by Politzer and Valsava's methods and vibro-pressure massage AMSA. The aim of this study is estimation of efficacy vibro-pressure massage AMSA in otitis media with effusion and eustachitis in children. The study population consisted of 34 children and youth aged between 3-17 years with otitis media with effusion or eustachitis. In all people we performed 10 procedures of vibro-pressure massage AMSA administered 4 mg dexamethasone in vibro-aerosol. Efficiency of treatment was estimated by comparison otolaryngology examination, pure tone audiometry and tympanometry. In 76.7% ears with eustachitis we observed correct results of examinations of hearing acuity after treatment. It was more two times better then in children with otitis media with effusion. Vibro-pressure massage AMSA 10 times with 4 mg dexamethasone in vibro-aerosol is good method in treatment of eustachitis. In otitis media with effusion isn't efficacious enough. In this case we recommended tympanostomy tube.
