At the onset of infection in children with otitis media had fluid deposition starts in middle ear cavity, but it become thickened and more viscous as infection intensity shifting to a more chronic state and accumulated in the middle ear cavity. To access a clinical status of children with serous otitis media infection with liquid characteristics prediction in middle ear cavity.
Deposited fluids collected from middle ear cavity of 50 children at the time of surgery and tympanostomy tube insertion. These 34 children were undergoing for first the procedure and rest of 16 children undergone for a repeated set of surgery and tympanostomy tube placement.
These fluid dynamics properties can be analyzed through the magnetic rheometer device. In this study, children with a repeated set of tubes insertion had found lowest transferability rate but have higher lateral adhesion value. However, they had no statistically significant differences in between the same groups. Mucopyogenic fluids had significantly higher transportability rate compared to sticky/mucoid and watery or serous fluids with respect to other groups.
