ABSTRACT

We have studied two different tracers in order to evaluate tubal mucociliary transport time albumin typed with Technetium-99 and a saccharin solution. The procedure has been done in a group with normal ears and tubes, and in another one with chronic otitis media. Tubal transport time obtained is always longer with saccharin than with albumin between 21% and 66%.
