The effects of different types of nasal packs on Eustachian tube function have been a source of debate. Past study results have been based on single tympanometric evaluations. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use the nine-step inflation-deflation test for evaluation of Eustachian tube function in patients undergoing nasal packing. No significant difference was observed between ventilated or glove-finger nasal packs, in terms of preserving Eustachian tube function in our patient population.
不同类型的鼻腔填塞物对咽鼓管功能的影响一直是一个争论的焦点。过去的研究结果基于单次鼓室图评估。据我们所知，本研究是首次使用九步充气-放气试验来评估接受鼻腔填塞患者的咽鼓管功能。在我们的患者群体中，就保留咽鼓管功能而言，通气式或手套指式鼻腔填塞物之间未观察到显著差异。
