Effect of Ventilation Tubes in Otitis-prone Children
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ventilation tubes in children with recurrent ear infections. By drawing lots, young children with recurrent ear infections will be assigned to one of two groups (ventilation tubes or close follow-up), and the number of ear infections and antibiotic prescriptions …
Using Electronically Derived Automated Reports of Appropriate Antibiotic Use to Inform Stewardship Interventions
The main goal of this study is to use automated electronic reports to assess and improve guideline-concordant antibiotic use for: adult inpatients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP); 2) pediatric inpatients with CAP; 3) adult outpatients with acute pharyngitis; and 4) pediatric outpatients with acute otitis media. There are two cohorts in …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Solo+ Tympanostomy Tube Device (Solo+ TTD) for the placement of tympanostomy tubes in paediatric patients undergoing a tympanostomy procedure.
Does Topical Otic Drop Use at Time of Tympanostomy Tube Surgery Improve Outcomes When no Middle Ear Effusion is Present
To determine whether the use of topical otic drops intra-operative and post-operative during tympanostomy tube placement reduces the rate of tympanostomy tube occlusion and post-operative otorrhea (ear drainage) during the initial 4-week post-operative period in subjects with no middle ear effusion (fluid behind the ear drum) present at the time …
Coherent Optical Detection of Middle Ear Disease
The purpose of this project is to see if optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new technology acting as an ultrasound for the ear, facilitates accurately diagnosing acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME) in children. Clinical diagnoses made using solely pneumatic otoscopy (PO) will be compared to …
Effect of Chitodex Gel in Tympanoplasty Surgery
The general purpose of this study is to compare Chitosan-dextran (Chitodex) gel versus current standard of care, Gelfoam, as a middle ear (ME) and external auditory canal (EAC) packing agent as part of tympanoplasty procedures to close tympanic membrane perforations (TMP).
LiveSpo Navax® Supports the Treatment of Acute Rhinosinusitis and Otitis Media
Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs), such as acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) and acute otitis media (AOM), are common worldwide and caused by viruses or bacteria entering the body through the mouth and nose. AOM frequently occurs in young children and is caused by bacterial reflux into the middle ear. ARS is …
A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study of BET Combined With Tympanostomy Tube Insertion in the Treatment of Intractable OME After Radiotherapy for NPC
The primary purpose of this study is to compare balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) combined with tympanostomy tube insertion and simply tympanostomy tube insertion in the treatment of otitis media with effusion (OME) in post-radiotherapy patients on the improvement of subjective symptoms (ear fullness, etc.) and the tympanogram. The secondary purpose …
Otitis Treatment With OtoSight™ - Modification of Antibiotic Treatment Intervention in Children
