Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are the most common risk factor associated with otorrhea in children with VT, but water penetrations have traditionally been implicated. “Can children with VTs be permitted to swim without any protection?” This is the question that otolaryngologists are often asked by the parents of their paediatric patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> For years, parents have been advised to protect children's ears with VTs from contact with water, either by avoiding swimming or by protecting ears with ear plugs or antiwater caps, as water exposure in the middle ear such as during hair washing or bathing is likely to cause AOM. There is a growing evidence that water should not traverse VTs unless under significant pressure.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> The most recent American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) clinical practice guidelines for VTs<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> state that routine water precautions should not be prescribed in these patients. Despite these recommendations, many otolaryngologists and paediatricians continue to prescribe earplugs during bathing or swimming or to avoid aquatic activities. Currently in literature, there are already two reviews on this topic. There is a wide range Cochrane systematic review with strict selection criteria performed by Moualed et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> suggesting that wearing earplugs reduces the rate of otorrhea in children with VTs; clinicians and parents should understand that the absolute reduction in the number of episodes of otorrhea appears to be very small and is unlikely to be clinically significant. Finally, in 2017 Steele et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> conducted a review founding no compelling evidence of a need for water precautions. However, both these reviews presented some limitations. The first one used strict selection criteria and included only 2 high-quality studies. The second one presented evidence up to 2005 and it was a pooled review including not only the studies about this topic but also those concerning the prophylactic use of antibiotic eardrops after water exposure to reduce the otorrhea incidence.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The goal of this review is to identify, summarize and critically appraise the current evidence concerning water precautions for children with VTs.

A recent survey on the most common precautions about water exposure after VT placement provided by UK clinicians showed that only of 10.4% of responders advised no water precautions.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> However, based on the data emerging from our review, many randomized evidences suggest that these precautions are unnecessary. In particular, there is no statistically significant difference in otorrhea incidence between water exposure with and without ear protections in children with VTs. Moreover, it is not recommended the use of antibiotic eardrops as a prevention strategy to reduce the otorrhea incidence in children with VTs after water exposure. When VTs are inserted, it is traditionally assumed that chances of middle ear infections are increased by creating a passage for water into the middle ear: it is the rationale behind the advice to patients regarding precautions during water-based activities.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a> However, although the rationale is sound, it has never been clearly demonstrated that it is a common occurrence in everyday clinical practice. Many practical exposure models showed that it is very unlikely for water to enter into the middle ear through VTs during swimming.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0225"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> There are two main explanations the water cannot pass through the VTs and therefore cannot enter the middle ear or the water pass through the VTs but does not cause infection. This is the real problem of water getting into the middle ear. Therefore, putting on ear protection is to prevent contaminated water from entering, not when clean water enters. Among the different pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most frequently isolated in pools and hot tubs which typically cause refractory otorrhea because it is capable of forming biofilms on the VTs.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0230"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> The passage of water through VTs depends on several factors such as water pressure, surface tension, Eustachian Tube (ET) patency, different type VTs, water characteristics and time elapsed between the positioning of the VTs and the start of swimming. The pressure necessary for water to pass through a VT varies between 12.8 and 22.8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm of water and even the soapy water the water pressure necessary was 10.95<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm of water.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0235"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> It is known that soapy water reduces surface tension, thus lowering the pressure required to penetrate VTs.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0225"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> The opening of the ET favours the passage of water through the VTs. However, when a child dives, the ambient pressure increases, and it is transmitted equally to both the external auditory canal and consequently to the tympanic membrane through the VT and to the nasopharynx through the nasal fossae. Consequently, there is an increase in nasopharyngeal pressure that impedes the passive opening of the auditory tube compensating the external ear canal pressure increase. This mechanism prevents the passage of fluids through the VTs.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> Brattmo et al. <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0240"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></a> observed that subjects with VTs had a poorer ability to equalize pressure gradients through the ET than those with healthy ears. These results support the theory that opening the Middle Ear (ME) to the atmosphere leads to a deterioration in its pressure regulation capacity as a consequence of gas diffusion over the ME mucosa. Regarding the size of VTs, it is known that larger tube may be associated with higher otorrhea incidence. Ungar et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0245"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> used a printed 3D-model of the external auditory canal (EAC) and the ME to assess the permeability of various VTs to different fluids. The authors observed that water passed through the standard 1.14<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm diameter VTs after filling the EAC with a volume of 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml and through a narrower grommet or a T-tube after filling the canal with 2.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml. Soapy-water had the highest penetration in all VTs (1–2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml). The initial volume of dexamethasone needed for penetration was 2.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml in the standard tubes. It did not pass at any volume through the narrow grommet or the T-tube. Moreover, Ricks et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0250"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> compared the penetration ability of different water solutions (sea water, chlorinated water, freshwater and soapy water) for Shah, mini-Shah, T tube and titanium bobbin VTs thought a specific model in swimmers. For all VTs soapy water was the most penetrating, followed by seawater. Titanium bobbins required significantly less of each solution for penetration. Mini-Shah grommets required significantly more of all solutions except soapy water for penetration to occur. Shah grommets were more resistant to chlorinated and sea water than T tubes. Mini-Shah grommets appear to protect against water penetration into the middle ear cleft and their use should be considered in patients who are water-sport enthusiasts. Furthermore, swimmers in sea or chlorinated water seem to be at higher risk than freshwater swimmers. Titanium bobbins were relatively easily penetrated by all four solutions and should be avoided in keen swimmers. Mini-Shah grommets appear to protect against water penetration into the middle ear cleft and their use should be considered in patients who are watersport enthusiasts. Regarding the effects of different waters, it is advisable that precautions need to be taken while bathing in soapy water, swimming in chlorinated water or stagnant ponds and diving, but not when bathing in tap water, hair rinsing or surface swimming in the sea.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a></p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Miyake et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> presented the highest incidence and most patients with episodes of otorrhea, in the immediate post-operative period, of peripheral openings on the VTs, resulting from an ample myringotomy, which allows the inflow of water into the middle ear, causing infection.

However, it is our belief that these studies cannot be used to determine whether or not ear protection are required in the children with VTs. One of the most significant limitations of this review was the small number of articles and the few randomized clinical trials (only 4). Many studies suffered from a lack of randomization, blinding, and compliance checks and from small simple size. These few studies were characterized by a small patient population, short observation periods and different clinical and diagnostic parameters evaluated.

VTs usually remain in the eardrum between 6 and 12 months and during this period otorrhoea is the most frequent complication. For years, parents have been advised to protect the ears of children with VTs from contact with water, as water exposure in the middle ear is likely to cause acute otitis media. However, there is a growing evidence that water should not traverse VTs unless under significant pressure, so routine water precautions should not be prescribed. Despite these recommendations, many otolaryngologists and paediatricians continue to prescribe earplugs during bathing or swimming or advise against aquatic activities. There are already two reviews in the current literature on this topic: the first used strict selection criteria and included only 2 high-quality studies, while the second presented evidence up to 2005. The aim of this review is to identify, summarize and critically appraise the current evidence concerning water precautions for children with VTs.</p></span> <span id="abst0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0015">Methods</span><p id="spar0010" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Two independent reviewers separately searched for related scientific papers.

Los TV normalmente permanecen sobre la membrana timpánica entre 6 y 12 meses, y durante este periodo una de las complicaciones más frecuentes es la presencia de otorrea. Durante muchos años, se les ha indicado a los padres la necesidad de evitar el contacto con agua de aquellos niños que tienen TV, ya que la exposición al agua puede producir otitis media aguda. Sin embargo, existe una creciente evidencia sobre la imposibilidad de que el agua pueda penetrar a través del TV a menos que exista una presión significativa y, por lo tanto, estas precauciones resultan innecesarias. A pesar de estas recomendaciones, muchos otorrinolaringólogos y pediatras siguen indicando tapones de oídos durante el baño o la natación e incluso la prohibición de deportes acuáticos. Actualmente en la literatura existen 2 revisiones sobre este tema: la primera utilizó criterios de selección estrictos e incluyó 2 estudios de alta calidad, mientras que la segunda presentó evidencia solo hasta el año 2005.

No se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la incidencia de otorrea entre la exposición al agua con y sin tapones para los oídos en niños con TV, ni entre la exposición al agua y la no exposición al agua en niños con TV. Se concluyó que evitar la exposición al agua representa una desventaja y, en el peor de los casos, puede retrasar el aprendizaje de la natación. La decisión entre proteger o no el oído en caso de exposición al agua debe ser individualizada, y se recomienda la protección durante el primer mes de postoperatorio y en casos de otorrea recurrente.</p></span> <span id="abst0040" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0050">Conclusión</span><p id="spar0040" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Según la bibliografía disponible, permitir la realización de actividades acuáticas sin protección auditiva en pacientes con TV representa un riesgo mínimo, siendo innecesaria la prohibición de la natación.
