- W2000500718 abstract "Neonatal guinea pigs show signs of a temporary conductive hearing loss during the first few days after birth. It has been suggested that this is due mainly to the presence of amniotic fluid in the middle ear (ME) cavity at birth and its subsequent clearance. This study was designed to try to identify the mechanisms responsible for the amniotic fluid clearance from the ME after birth by means of several experiments in guinea pigs. The osmolarity of the blood, amniotic fluid and the fluid in the ME cavity of guinea pig fetuses was measured. Serum and normal saline were introduced into the ME of older animals and fluid clearance was monitored short- and long-term by microscopic observation, tympanometry and estimation of residual fluid. Following instillation of 1/5 normal saline and normal saline into the ME cavity, the osmolarity of the remaining fluid was determined, short- and long-term. Clear osmotic pressure gradients were found between amniotic fluid (low pressure), fetal blood (higher pressure) and the fluid in the fetal ME (intermediate between them). The MEs into which normal saline had been introduced developed negative pressure and, over several days, were cleared of fluid. When serum was applied, ME pressure remained close to atmospheric and the fluid was not cleared. Hypotonic saline application led to an increase in the osmotic pressure in the fluid remaining in the ME. It is concluded that most of the amniotic fluid is cleared from the neonatal ME cavity by water outflow into the blood due to osmotic pressure gradients." @default.
