Tympanostomy Tubes

Postsurgical follow-up of children with tympanostomy tubes is becoming a contentious issue in this era of managed care. Primary care providers believe themselves to be capable of evaluating these children. Otolaryngologists, on the other hand, have more specialized equipment available to them (suction apparatus, otomicroscopes, audiology devices, etc) for treating suppurative infections and monitoring the tympanic membrane for structural changes. In addition, the otolaryngologist is placed in an uncomfortable legal and ethical position if access to the patient with a tube-related complication is denied by the primary care provider. Attempts to develop an American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) policy statement have been hampered by a lack of data on the incidence and severity of tube-related complications and the role that otolaryngologists can play in reducing these sequelae. A survey designed by the AAO-HNS Pediatric Otolaryngology Committee was distributed to 1000 board-certified otolaryngologists and all members of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics-Otolaryngology Section regarding current practice patterns and practitioners' experiences with tympanostomy tube complications. Specific information regarding complications that could have been avoided with earlier otolaryngology referral was also obtained. The results of the survey and its implications for AAO-HNS policy are presented.
