Otitis media has been previously shown to be a source of sepsis in the pediatric intensive care unit; however, pneumatic otoscopy and other otologic instruments are not commonly used in the pediatric intensive care unit. We undertook a prospective study to determine the prevalence of otitis media, to assess the risk factors involved with the development of these nosocomial infections, and to identify the causative organisms. We conclude that otitis media is a common entity in the pediatric intensive care unit, that it is probably caused by prolonged dysfunction of the eustachian tube associated with oral and nasally-placed tubes and that the bacteriology reflects that of the hospital environment and not that of the community.
