7. EAP DlSOPDEP:—
› Otitis media
› Osteosclerosis
› Menieres disease
› Perichondritis
• Permanent sensorineural hearing loss
8. MEDIA.•-
Definition:—
"It is an inflammation of middle ear
that most often occur in infant &
young children but can occur at
any age”
13. Pathophys iology: —
Due to etiolog ical factor‹uRTi, Bacteria)
Exudates & edema in middle ear
Decrease retraction of tympanic membrane
Serous exudates in middle ear
Pus formation
Tympanic membrane rupture
CUTEOTITIS MEDIA
19. 2.CHRONIC OTITIS MEDIA:—
Definition:—
"It is a long standing infection of a
part of whole of the midd ie year
characterised by ear discharge &
permanent perforation"
OR
"Inflammation of the middle ear that
lasts for more than 6 weeks"
24. 2. Non suppurative—
a.Serous Ofitis media—
Stages:
URTI or acute otitis media—> Fluid collection in
middle ear and obstruction of eutachian tube
4 tympanic membrane retraction.
Fluid become pus4like necr
4osis tympanic
membrane perforation.
Could end up with mastoiditis ( if not stopped ).
26. Management: —
Medical management—
careful suctioning of the ear under
microscopic guidance.
instillation of antibiotic drops
Surgical management—
Tympanoplasty
0s sicu lop Iasty ‹surgical reconstruction of the middle
ear

Mastoidectomy
27.
28. Nursing management:—
Assessment:-
Collect health history includes a complete
description of the ear problem.
Collect data about the duration and intensity of
the problem, its causes, and previous
treatments.
› Obtain Information about other health
problems and medications.
Physical assessment includes observation for
erythema, edema, otorrhea, lesions, and
characteristics such as odor and color of
discharge.
29. Nursing diagnosis:—
Pain R/T Infection
Risk for infection R/T eustachian
tube dysfunction.
Altered auditory sensory perception
R/T Fluid in the middle year.
Anxiety R/T surgical procedure,
potential loss of hearing,
Risk for trauma R/T balance
difficulties or vertigo during the
immediate postoperative period.
