摘要: Middle ear negative pressure and effusions, decreased middle compliance, abnormal tympanometry results have been described after diving on oxygen. gas hyperoxia has shown to down-regulate the eustachian tube ventilatory function (ETVF). The purpose of present study was investigate what extent systemic in face air-equivalent composition might interfere with ETVF. ETVF investigated four young adult female cynomolgus monkeys by forced-response inflation-deflation tests using air while animals breathed either room or 100% normobaric Higher opening, closing, steady-state pressures were observed under hyperoxia. percentage applied equalized, maximal change a single swallow deflation test both lower hyperoxic conditions. show that impair This observation adds our understanding pathophysiology dysfunction
