Abstract：Objective To assess the feasibility and safety of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) in patients undergo-ing eustachian tube balloon dilatation. Methods Under MAC, 16 patients (21 ears) with secretory otitis media were treated with eustachian tube balloon dilatation, using catheters produced by a German company (Spiggle&Theis). Re-sults Eustachian tube balloon dilation procedures were successfully completed under MAC without tracheal intubation. Patients were able to breathe smoothly, showed no obvious pain, and tolerated the procedure well. Conclusions MAC is a safe, economical and convenient mode of anesthesia to be used in eustachian tube balloon dilatation with high levels of patient satisfaction.
