Respiratory System Abnormal Finding II: Palpation and Auscultation

In assessing respiratory abnormalities, palpation and auscultation are critical tools for detecting and interpreting various pathophysiological changes. These techniques provide insight into underlying disorders by evaluating tactile sensations and sounds produced by the respiratory system.
Palpation Findings
During a respiratory assessment, palpation can reveal several vital abnormalities:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Orthognathic surgery, particularly on the maxilla, can temporarily affect auditory function due to muscle changes. Most patients experience only mild, transient auditory dysfunction after these procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Orthognathic surgery involves bone cutting and repositioning, potentially impacting surrounding muscles and structures.
  • Edema and muscle traction post-surgery can lead to paratubular muscle dysfunction.
  • This dysfunction may manifest as temporary auditory issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of orthognathic surgery on patients' auditory status.
  • To assess changes in hearing and Eustachian tube function following surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Audiometric tests (pure tone, tympanometry, Eustachian tube function) were performed on 54 patients.
  • Tests were conducted preoperatively and at multiple time points postoperatively (48 hours, 6 weeks, 8 weeks).
  • Surgical procedures involved the maxilla, mandible, or both, with specific movements recorded.

Main Results:

  • Maxillary and bimaxillary orthognathic procedures were associated with auditory system dysfunction (p<0.05).
  • A small number of patients exhibited mild auditory dysfunction at the study's conclusion.
  • The observed dysfunction was generally mild and transient.

Conclusions:

  • Orthognathic surgery, especially involving the maxilla or both jaws, can induce temporary auditory system dysfunction.
  • This dysfunction is typically mild and resolves without specific intervention.
  • Monitoring auditory status post-orthognathic surgery is advisable for maxillary and bimaxillary procedures.
