An in vitro comparison of the efficacy of ceruminolytics for the disintegration of cerumen plugs from elderly patients

Öz:
Amaç: İlerleyen yaşla birlikte serümen (buşon) birikimlerine sık rastlanmaktadır. Yaşlı hastalardan elde edilen serümen tıkaçlarının çözünmesinde Earex, Waxsol, Xerumenex, hidrojen peroksit’in gliserin içinde % 6’lık solüsyonu, % 10’luk sodyum bikarbonat solüsyonu ve distile suyun etkilerinin karşılaştırılması. Materyal ve Metod: Otuz iki yaşlı hastanın dış kulak yolundan taze buşon örnekleri alındı. Aynı buşon örneğinden 100 mg’lık eşit miktarlar ölçülerek çalışma ortamına yerleştirilerek üzerine serümenolitik solüsyonlar eklendi. Çözünme derecesi beş gün boyunca belli zaman aralıklarında değerlendirildi.Sonuçlar: Tam çözünme bir saat içinde sadece hidrojen Peroksit’in gliserin içinde % 6’lık solüsyonu ile meydana geldi. Waxsol ve % 10’luk sodyum bikarbonat solüsyonunun her ikisinde de kısmi çözünme izlendi. Earex ve Xerumenex solüsyonlarının ise buşon çözünmesinde hemen hemen hiç etkisinin olmadığı görüldü. Yorum: Beş serümenolitik solüsyonun kullanıldığı bu invitro çalışmada yaşlı hastalardan elde edilen serümen tıkaçların çözünmesinde hidrojen peroksit’in gliserin içinde % 6 'lık solüsyonunun en etkili serümenolitik olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Background: Cerumen impactions are more common with advancing age. Objective: To compare the efficacy of Earex, Waxsol, Xerumenex, a 6% solution of hydrogen peroxide in glycerin, a 10% solution of aqueous sodium bicarbonate preparations and distilled water for producing disintegration of the cerumen plugs collected from elderly patients. Method: Fresh samples of cerumen were obtained from ear canals of 32 elderly patients. Equal parts of the same piece of the cerumen plug weighed 100 mg were placed into the preparations. The degree of disintegration was observed at specific time intervals for up to five days. Results: Complete disintegration only occurred with hydrogen peroxide 6% in glycerin within one hour. Cerumen plug in both Waxsol and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution 10% were observed to be substantially disintegrated. We noticed that Earex and Xerumenex had almost no effect on cerumen plug disintegration. Conclusion: The 6% solution of hydrogen peroxide in glycerin appears to be the most effective ceruminolytic preparation for producing disintegration of the cerumen plugs collected from elderly patients among the five ceruminolytics used in this in vitro study.
