Objectives: To evaluate the type and degree of hearing loss in CSOM and also to find out any relationship between the hearing loss and disease duration. Methods: This was a cross sectional study which was carried out in the departments of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of BSMMU and Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period of July’2011 to December’2011. A total 80 cases of CSOM were collected. Patient below the age of 5 years and patients above the age of 50 years were excluded from this study. The diagnosis of CSOM was established on the basis of clinical examination- otoscopy and tunning fork test. Pure tone audiogram (PTA) was done for hearing assessment. Thus, 80 cases of CSOM were collected with their PTA reports of 117 ears. Results: The study included 80 patients of CSOM, of them 60 were with tubo-tympanic type and 20 were with attico-antral disease. Highest number of patients was in 2nd decade in both type of disease. 44.79% of ears of tubo-tympanic type were associated with mild (26-40 dB) hearing loss and 42.85% attico-antral variety was with moderate (41-55 dB) hearing loss. Conductive type of hearing loss was common in both types of disease. 98% of ears in tubotympanic and 81% of ears in attico-antral disease had conductive hearing loss. Mixed type (2.08%) of hearing loss was found in tubo-tympanic disease. Attico-antral disease was also associated with mixed (14.28%) and SNHL (4.76%). Conclusion: The above study revealed that hearing loss in CSOM is mostly conductive in nature rarely sensorineural in type. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2017; 23(1): 59-66

Background: Emergency tracheostomy is the commonest surgical intervention performed as lifesaving procedure by ENT surgeons on patients in emergency room of ENT and ICU. Several operative and postoperative complications have been reported after tracheostomy including fatal hemorrhage. Massive subcutaneous neck emphysema occurred because ventilation started at the time when the hemorrhage was not completely managed and the tracheal tube was not fully secured. Objective: This study was conducted to compare haemorrhage and surgical emphysema as complication of emergency tracheostomy among patients admitted in Department of ENT and Head-Neck Surgery in Dhaka Medical College & Hospital. Methods and Materials: This was a Cross Sectional Study conducted in the ENT and Head- Neck Surgery Department, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. A total of 90 patients were included who fulfilled the selection criteria. Non probability convenient sampling was used to collect data. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 21. Results: Mean± SD of the study subjects was 49.84±17.4 years with most patients belonged to 40-79 years age group. 28.9% patients had habit of smoking and betel nut chewing. (48.9%) patients suffered from Ca larynx. Out of 90 tracheostomy patients, 40(44.4%) patients had had different complications including haemorrhage (13.3%), surgical emphysema (10%), haemorrhage with surgical emphysema (6.7%), tube blockage (3.3%), wound infection (3.3%) and injury to local tissue (2.2%). Haemorrhage occurs from anterior jugular vein, middle thyroid veins and thyroid gland and included peroperative haemorrhage (7.8%), immediate post- operative haemorrhage, <24 hours, (4.43%) and late post-operative haemorrhage (1.2%). Conclusion: In this study, haemorrhage followed by surgical emphysema and haemorrhage with surgical emphysema were found as major complications following emergency tracheostomy, J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 28, No.2, October, 2019, Page 159-163
