'Watchful waiting' for glue ear in children within primary care as a precursor or alternative to surgery is one of the increasing pressures on general practitioners (GPs) to limit outpatient referrals. An equipment survey questions whether primary care is properly equipped to 'watch', given the limited access to audiological equipment that might objectively underpin a decision on when 'waiting' should end.
在基层医疗中，对儿童分泌性中耳炎采用“观察等待”作为手术的前期准备或替代方法，这是全科医生面临的越来越大的压力之一，他们需要限制门诊转诊。一项设备调查质疑，鉴于获取听力设备的机会有限，而这些设备可能是客观决定何时结束“等待”的依据，基层医疗是否具备适当的设备进行“观察”。
