BACKGROUND
Despite a high prevalence of chronic otitis media and related complications, many African dispensaries and clinics lack microscopes or fiberoptic equipment for examining external ear ducts and tympanic membranes.
METHOD
An alternative, inexpensive, and readily available device designed for ear wax removal is presented as a clinical ear and anterior nasal cavity examination tool. The device connects to Wi-Fi or cellular networks, providing high-definition images of the ear and anterior nasal cavity through a smartphone interface. Its use, utility, strengths, and limitations are discussed.
CONCLUSION
This paper describes a novel, cost-effective, and user-friendly device for examining the external ear, tympanic membrane, and anterior nasal cavity of patients throughout humanitarian missions.
背景
尽管慢性中耳炎及其相关并发症的患病率很高，但许多非洲的诊疗所和诊所缺乏用于检查外耳道和鼓膜的显微镜或光纤设备。
方法
本文介绍了一种专为清除耳垢设计的、价格低廉且易于获得的设备，将其作为临床耳部和前鼻腔检查工具。该设备可连接Wi-Fi或蜂窝网络，通过智能手机界面提供耳部和前鼻腔的高清图像。文中讨论了该设备的使用方法、效用、优点及局限性。
结论
本文描述了一种新颖、经济高效且用户友好的设备，可在整个人道主义任务中用于检查患者的外耳道、鼓膜和前鼻腔。
