Peritonsillar Abscess Outcomes with and Without Computed Tomography: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a common deep space head and neck infection, which can be diagnosed with or without computed tomography (CT). CT poses a risk for false positives, leading to unnecessary abscess drainage attempts without benefit, whereas needle or open aspiration without imaging could

Conscious sedation for the management of peritonsillar abscess in pediatric patients: A prospective case series and literature review. Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a common pediatric infection requiring drainage. Conscious Sedation (CS) can facilitate drainage in uncooperative children. However, it carries risks, especially if the airway is compromised. Moreover, evidence on its safety

A Reproducible Peritonsillar Abscess Incision and Drainage Model for Junior Trainees. To describe the design and construction of a reproducible, low-cost, peritonsillar abscess (PTA) incision and drainage simulator and assess its impact on trainees' confidence. The 2-part simulator we developed consisted of a manikin head with a fixed, partially open mouth and a modular PTA mold. The mold

Use of Needle Guide for Dynamic Real-Time Ultrasound-Directed Aspiration of Peritonsillar Abscess in the Emergency Department: A Case Series. Needle aspiration is a common treatment of peritonsillar abscess (PTA). Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used to guide this procedure. We describe our experience using a commercially available needle guide attached to an endocavitary ultrasound

Assessment of YouTube as an educational tool in teaching flexible nasendoscopy and peritonsillar abscess drainage. Partly as a result of coronavirus disease 2019, YouTube has become a more frequent educational source for otolaryngology trainees. This study sought to assess the quality of flexible nasendoscopy and peritonsillar abscess drainage videos. YouTube was systematically searched using 13 terms related to flexible nasendoscopy and peritonsillar abscess drainage. Two independent reviewers assessed the quality of each video using the Laparoscopic Video Educational Guidelines. Twenty-seven videos were deemed suitable. The mean total Laparoscopic Video Educational Guidelines scores for videos on flexible nasendoscopy (18 videos) and peritonsillar abscess drainage (9 videos) were 10.3

Impact of the COVID-19 era on clinical presentation, management and microbiology in paediatric peritonsillar abscess: A case-control study. Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is the most common soft-tissue infection of the head and neck. This potential complication of tonsillitis has demonstrated unique microbial trends during the COVID-19 pandemic. This era has resulted in a major shift in the hygiene with a diagnosis of Peritonsillar abscess. We analyzed the clinical and microbiologcal features of all cases of pediatric peritonsillar abscess during the COVID-19 era (03/2020-02/2022) and compared them to a pre and post control cases. A total of 96 PTA cases were included (35 pre-COVID, 35 COVID and 26 post-COVID). The means of procedural treatment shifted in favour of incision and drainage versus needle

The impact of social restrictions on the incidence and microbiology of peritonsillar abscess: a retrospective cohort study. We aimed to explore the impact of social distancing on the incidence and microbiology of peritonsillar abscess (PTA). We performed a cross-sectional analysis of all PTA patients and their microbiological findings in the two years preceding versus the two years following

Predicting failure of detection of peritonsillar abscess with ultrasound in pediatric populations. Some patients require additional imaging following ultrasound (US) to definitively diagnose a peritonsillar abscess (PTA), delaying intervention and disease resolution. We seek to evaluate patient characteristics which may predispose to a secondary imaging requirement to diagnose PTA, in order

Peritonsillar abscess on NSQIP: Safety of indicated quinsy tonsillectomy. To compare surgical outcomes for children with peritonsillar abscess (PTA) who are taken to the operating room (OR) for incision and drainage (I&D) or quinsy tonsillectomy. This is a multicenter retrospective study of pediatric patients who underwent I&D of a PTA between 2012 and 2017 included in the American College

Peritonsillar abscess: an 8-year retrospective, culture based evaluation of 208 cases. Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a common infection which requires surgical intervention and suitable antibiotic therapy. Beside and several other mostly anaerobic bacteria can be cultured from the properly taken pus samples of PTA, the clinical significance of which is still not fully understood. This study

Risk Factors for Recurrence of Peritonsillar Abscess. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with peritonsillar abscess (PTA) recurrence in adult patients. This retrospective cohort study used a nationwide insurance claims database in Japan. Adult patients (aged ≥ 20 years) who received intravenous antibiotics or surgical therapy within 5 days of their first PTA diagnosis

A Low-Cost Ultrasound Phantom for Peritonsillar Abscess Drainage Training. Peritonsillar abscesses (PTAs) are encountered routinely in clinical practice. Ultrasound-guided aspiration has been proven both safe and effective in treating this condition. However, to date, there are no easily produced, low-cost models that enable the practice of point-of-care ultrasound-guided PTA aspiration and PTA

Seasonal Variation of Peritonsillar Abscess Presentation to an Emergency Department in an Atlantic Canadian Climate: A Retrospective Review. Patients with a peritonsillar abscess (PTA) often present to emergency departments as the first point of medical contact. Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are more frequent in the winter. Therefore, we hypothesize that the incidence of PTAs

Smoking and Alcohol Consumption Are Associated With the Increased Risk of Peritonsillar Abscess. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship among smoking, alcohol consumption, and peritonsillar abscess in a Korean population. Individuals ≥40 years old from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort were assessed from 2002 to 2013. In total, 1,285 peritonsillar abscess participants were matched with 5,140 controls at a ratio of 1:4 with respect to age group, sex, income group, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. We analyzed the participants' previous histories of smoking (current smokers vs. nonsmokers or past smokers) and alcohol consumption (drinkers vs. nondrinkers) in the peritonsillar abscess and control groups

A low fidelity Peritonsillar Abscess Drainage Simulator - Our experience of feedback from 117 trainees.

A prospective, multi-centre external validation study of the Liverpool Peritonsillar abscess Score (LPS) with a no-examination Covid-19 modification. Our primary aim was to validate the Liverpool Peritonsillar abscess Score (LPS) externally in a new patient cohort. Our secondary aim was to modify the LPS in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic to produce a no-examination variant for use in this instance. Prospective multicentre external validation study. Six different secondary care institutions across the United Kingdom. Patients over 16 years old who were referred to ENT with any uncomplicated sore throat such a tonsillitis or peritonsillar abscess (PTA). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for both the original LPS model and the modified model

Evidence-Based Medicine Improves the Emergent Management of Peritonsillar Abscesses Using Point-of-Care Ultrasound. Physical examination for peritonsillar abscess (PTA) has limited sensitivity. Traditional management involves blind needle aspiration, which has a false negative rate of 10-24%. A randomized controlled trial by Costantino et al. demonstrated that point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS
