Abstract

Otalgia, or the pain localized to the ear is a common symptom encountered in the emergency departments, pediatric and otorhinolaryngology clinics. An effective treatment requires not only the best therapeutic approaches for the specific etiology, but also the control of pain. For the pain management, oral and local therapies can be used. Recently, local therapies have been frequently preferred, however the clinicians should meticulously be concerned about the patient selection, appropriate dosages, duration of activity and adverse effects, and also the presence of perforation in the tympanic membrane when using these medications. The objective of this review article, was to discuss Lidocaine (an amid group local anesthetic), which is the most commonly used local anesthetic drug, regarding the therapeutic effects on otalgia and its convenience.

Otaljide Lokal Lidokain İle Hızlı Analjezi

Abstract

Öz

Otalji, ya da kulağa lokalize ağrı acil servislerde. Pediatri ve otorinolaringoloji kliniklerinde sık rastlanılan bir semptomdur. Kulak ağrısı yaşanılan durumlarda tedavinin etkin olabilmesi, etiyolojiye yönelik tedavilerin yanı sıra, etkili ağrı kontrolünü sağlamakla mümkün olmaktadır. Ağrı için oral veya lokal tedaviler kullanılmaktadır. Son zamanlarda lokal anestezikler sıklıkla tercih edilmektedir. Ancak hasta seçimi, doz ayarlanması, etkinlik süresi ve yan etkiler, kulak zarında perforasyon olup olmaması konusunda hekimlerin bilinçli ve dikkatli olması önemlidir. Bu derleme ile en sık kullanılan lokal anesteziklerden biri olan Lidokainin (amid grubu lokal anestezik) otaljideki etkinliği ve güvenilirliği tartışılacaktır.
