    Summary

    Carbogen inhalation effectively treats sudden deafness by increasing oxygen supply to vestibular tissues. This noninvasive method shows superior results compared to papaverine and dextran infusions for sudden hearing loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Sudden deafness is characterized by reduced oxygen supply to vestibular tissues.
    • Perilymphatic oxygen tension is influenced by arterial PCO2, PO2, and blood pressure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of carbogen inhalation for treating sudden deafness.
    • To compare carbogen inhalation with papaverine and low-molecular dextran treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective randomized study design.
    • Polarographic measurements of perilymphatic oxygen tension in cats.
    • Clinical evaluation of treatment outcomes in sudden deafness patients.

    Main Results:

    • Carbogen inhalation increased perilymphatic oxygenation in sudden deafness patients without a stealing effect.
    • Carbogen inhalation demonstrated significantly better outcomes than papaverine and dextran.
    • Treatment response to carbogen was possible despite reduced oxygen supply.

    Conclusions:

    • Carbogen inhalation is an effective noninvasive treatment for sudden deafness.
    • This method improves oxygen supply to the affected tissues.
    • Recommended as a primary treatment for sudden hearing loss.
