AIM:
The aim of the study is to assess the quality of life and pulmonary function in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To assess the quality of life in those children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy during the period of pre- and post-tonsillectomy.
2. To analyse the spirometric parameters consequent to adenotonsillar hypertrophy and the subsequent changes after adenotonsillectomy.
METHODOLOGY IN BRIEF:
1. A cross sectional study was conducted in which quality of life was assessed in 30 children admitted at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy between February 2021 and May 2021.
2. A prospective study was conducted in which 30 children admitted at
Saveetha Medical College and Hospital due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy between February 2021 and May 2021 were evaluated for pulmonary function test. Five spirometric parameters were selected for an evaluation which had to be done pre-operatively and 30 days post operatively. Data was analysed statistically.
CONCLUSION: Based on this study, by analysing the spirometric parameters of pre- and post-tonsillectomy, adenotonsillectomy is found to have a positive effect on pulmonary function. It also helps in deciding early intervention to prevent cardiopulmonary complications.
