politzerization (dict)
|
PolitzerizationPolitzerization is a medical procedure derived from a medical experiment first performed by Adam Politzer of Vienna, that involved studying the air movement through the Eustachian tube by connecting a manometer to the external auditory canal meatus and another manometer in the pharynx. The procedure involves inflating the middle ear by blowing air up the nose during the act of swallowing. It is often performed to reopen the Eustachian tube and equalise pressure in the sinuses.
