Pengaruh Pemakaian Pipa Nasogastrik pada Kejadian Otitis Media Efusi
Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear mucoperiosteal without reference to its cause or pathogenesis. The incidence rate in Bandung area was 6.9%. Otitis media caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction might be induced by the use of nasogastric tube (NGT). An observational analytic was conducted to know the effect of NGT on incidence rate of otitis media with effusion in hospitalized patients at Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. There were 34 subjects in January 2007 were included in this study.
Before NGT insertion all subjects had physical examination and tympanometry. Every 24 hours tympanometry was performed till exertion the NGT. Tympanogram was collected and analysed statistically by Friedman test to compared median value of pressure before and after NGT insertion, and that of compliance. Spearman correlation test to identify correlation between peak pressure and compliance in the middle ear, and binomial to test hypotesis. There was decreasing pressure and compliance in middle ear until day 3 (p=0.197) and increased on day -4 and -7. In conclusion, the incidence rate of otitis media with effusion is not affected by using of NGT. The using of NGT is associated with reduced peak middle ear pressure (daPa) and peak compliance (mmho). [MKB. 2011;43(1):42–8].
