Parents of children with young children needing ear tubes will find it's easier to get their kids help. - TodayShow
Tula will allow doctors to deliver a local anesthetic into the ear drum using an electrical current to numb it for the insertion of tubes while keeping the child awake. The FDA said it examined data from 222 pediatric patients to determine its effectiveness and said Tula's success rate was 86% overall and 89% in children younger than 5.
Most parents have soothed children suffering from ear infections. They are extremely common: Nearly five of six children will develop one before turning 3 years old, according to the National Institute of Deafness and other Communication Disorders. Children who have four ear infections in a year or fluid behind their ears that muffles their hearing for three months are candidates for ear tubes, which eases their pain, prevents further infections and stops hearing loss. Currently, doctors perform them in the hospital under general anesthesia.
There are risks with general anesthesia, including an allergic reaction or difficulty breathing. While the local anesthesia sounds attractive, Afman worries that it might be stressful or difficult to hold down a child.
