How to fill out tympanostomy tube placement

How to fill out tympanostomy tube placement:

1. Gather all necessary materials: sterile saline solution, gloves, sterile drapes, syringe, and the tympanostomy tube.
2. Ensure a clean and sterile environment by washing your hands thoroughly and wearing gloves.
3. Position the patient properly, typically lying down with their head turned to the side opposite to the ear being treated.
4. Clean the external ear and surrounding area with a sterile saline solution and gently remove any wax or debris.
5. Apply a sterile drape or towel around the ear to maintain a sterile field.
6. Administer a local anesthetic to numb the ear canal and eardrum. This can be done using a cotton swab or a cotton pledget soaked in the anesthetic solution.
7. In some cases, a small incision may need to be made in the eardrum to facilitate tube placement. This is typically done using a myringotomy knife or a laser.
8. Use a sterile instrument or a special tube inserter to gently place the tympanostomy tube into the incision or directly into the eardrum. Ensure that the tube is properly positioned and secure.
9. Some tubes have a flange or projection that rests inside the ear canal to keep the tube in place. Make sure it is properly aligned.
10. Check for any bleeding or oozing from the incision site and apply a sterile cotton ball or gauze if necessary.
11. Provide proper aftercare instructions to the patient, including guidelines for ear hygiene, water exposure, and follow-up appointments.
