Dr. Cohen's myringotomy day at the Outpatient Care Center. Interview by Nancy L Zinner
Abstract:
1. Seventy percent of children develop at least one bout of otitis media. Myringotomy is done whenever serous otitis media fails to resolve after medical therapy. 2. The Outpatient Care Center (OCC) at Jewish Hospital in Louisville, the Kentucky Commission for Handicapped Children, and the Indiana Crippled Children's Commission have collaborated to provide cost-effective middle ear ventilation tube surgery for children in the greater Louisville area and southern Indiana. 3. On a typical morning, the OCC's first patient arrives in the operating room at 7:30 AM. The 20th patient is usually out of the operating room by 11:00 AM. Teamwork in all areas allows the cases to flow smoothly.
