S2E1 - Autoinflation for Paediatric Glue Ear Management

Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive! Otitis Media with Effusion (OME), or glue ear, is a frequent presentation in Australian General Practice. Parents often seek low-cost, non-surgical options during the standard 3-month watchful waiting period. This must-listen episode for IMGs and AMC Clinical candidates tackles nasal balloon autoinflation. We reveal the evidence — it may slightly reduce persistent OME — and provide the plain English explanation required for the OSCE. Learn the practical, step-by-step teaching technique and, crucially, how to avoid critical errors like ignoring contraindications (acute otitis media, perforation) and over-promising results.
