Hearing loss during resuscitation.

S I Friedman, C T Sassaki

    Archives of Otolaryngology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |June 1, 1975

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Positive pressure mask ventilation can rarely cause tympanic membrane injuries. Two patients experienced partial deafness due to incudomalleal joint disarticulation or oval window perilymph fistula from excessive pressure.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Positive pressure ventilation via mask is a critical resuscitation tool.
    • Tympanic membrane and middle ear injuries are uncommon complications.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of barotrauma is essential for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report rare cases of tympanic injury from positive pressure mask ventilation.
    • To investigate the potential causes of hearing loss in patients undergoing resuscitation.
    • To highlight the risk of barotrauma to the middle ear.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of two patients experiencing hearing loss post-ventilation.
    • Clinical examination and audiological assessment.
    • Review of pressure dynamics and anatomical pathways.

    Main Results:

    • Two patients developed partial deafness following mask ventilation.
    • One patient had incudomalleal joint disarticulation.
    • The other patient presented with an oval window perilymph fistula.

    Conclusions:

    • Excessive, rapid pressure transmission through the eustachian tube is the likely cause.
    • These injuries underscore the potential for barotrauma during resuscitation.
    • Awareness and careful pressure management are crucial to prevent such adverse events.
