American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and Surgery Nov 21, 2019
Hamiter M, et al. - This retrospective chart review sought to analyze the outcomes of needle aspiration (NA) under sedation as the primary surgical treatment for pediatric deep neck space abscesses (DNSA) to ascertain its adequacy, safety, and cost. From August 2008 through October 2015, ten consecutive pediatric patients, aged 4 to 48 months, that were diagnosed with DNSA starting were involved. According to results, none of the ten patients needed open incision and drainage (I&D). Data reported that median hospital stay was 4 days (range 3–8). An effective treatment modality with duration of hospital stay similar to other research that included I&D treatment under general anesthesia was conducted in the small study group NA under sedation.
