AbstractObjectives:The treatment of children with ‘glue ear’ often presents surgeons with the question of whether or not to insert a grommet when myringotomy reveals no fluid in the middle ear. We present a study designed to assess which factors contribute to the presence of a ‘dry tap’.Design:We prospectively gathered data from a cohort of 280 children (504 myringotomies). The cohort included two subgroups, one received halothane and nitrous oxide anaesthesia, and the other received enflurane anaesthesia.Setting:The ENT department of a district general hospital.Participants:Children (aged less than 17 years) requiring myringotomy.Main outcome measures:The presence of a ‘glue’ or dry tap at myringotomy was documented. We also recorded data on the following: pre- and post-induction tympanometry; age; season; anaesthetic type; and the delay from listing to actual operation.Results:A non type B pre-induction tympanogram and delay to operation were strong indications of finding a dry tap at surgery.Conclusions:In our study population, the proportion of dry taps at myringotomy was 18 per cent. The presence of a dry tap was rarely due to the induction of anaesthesia. Multivariate analysis revealed that the combination of factors most likely to predict a dry tap were non type B tympanogram and delay to operation.

No significant changes were found in packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration and red cell glutathione levels in patients before and after anaesthesia with halothane or enflurane. These results, though unable to explain the mechanism, support the earlier suggestion that glutathione plays little, if any, role in protecting liver against toxic effects of these anaesthetic agents or their metabolites.
