Characteristics of middle ear pressure in children under enflurane and isoflurane anaesthesia

ABSTRACT

Fourty seven children were selected to study the effect of enflurane and isoflurane on the middle ear pressure and the time required to achieve the pressure changes. The data was recorded by using an Interacoustics impedance audiometer model AZ7. From the results of this study, it appeared that Isoflurane is the least unsatisfactory agent to use in middle ear and tympanic cavity surgery
