PURPOSE
To determine current professional advice to patients about refraining from nose blowing and air travel following treatment of zygomatic fractures.
METHODS
A postal questionnaire was sent to 261 consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS) in the UK. They were asked about advice given to patients regarding length of time to refrain from nose blowing and air travel following treatment of zygomatic fractures.
RESULTS
A total of 184 (71%) replies were received. Advice regarding the length of time to refrain from nose blowing and air travel ranged from no advice to 8 weeks. About 90% of respondents based their advice on common sense and traditional practice.
CONCLUSIONS
Advice given to the patients following the treatment of zygomatic fractures varies widely. Most consultants based their advice on traditional practice and common sense. In the absence of widely accepted guidelines, there is a need for an agreement among clinicians on advice given to the patients.
目的
确定目前针对患者在颧骨骨折治疗后避免擤鼻和乘坐飞机旅行的专业建议。
方法
向英国261名口腔颌面外科顾问医师发送了一份邮政调查问卷。询问他们在颧骨骨折治疗后，就避免擤鼻和乘坐飞机旅行的时长向患者提供了哪些建议。
结果
共收到184份（71%）回复。关于避免擤鼻和乘坐飞机旅行的时长建议从无建议到8周不等。约90%的受访者依据常识和传统做法提供建议。
结论
颧骨骨折治疗后给予患者的建议差异很大。大多数顾问医师依据传统做法和常识提供建议。在缺乏广泛认可的指南的情况下，临床医生需要就给予患者的建议达成共识。
