Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the 2-year outcomes of using lidocaine/epinephrine iontophoresis and an automated tube delivery system for pediatric tympanostomy in an office setting.
- The research involved 269 children treated in-office and 68 children in the operating room, following patients for tube retention and complications over 2 years.
- Results showed comparable tube retention rates and complication levels between in-office and traditional operating room procedures, indicating that the in-office method is a viable alternative.
Objective: To evaluate local and systemic safety of bilateral iontophoretic administration of lidocaine with epinephrine or lidocaine alone to the tympanic membrane (TM).
Study Design: A randomized, double-blind, two-arm study was conducted at a single center. Healthy adults were randomized to bilateral iontophoretic treatment with 2% lidocaine, 1:100,000 epinephrine, or 2% lidocaine (control).
