Steroids in ORL: Indications, Efficacy, and Safety (2023 AMW)
2023 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
The use of steroids are common in many otolaryngology disorders. However, these medications need to be carefully considered given potential short and long-term side effects. The mechanism of action of steroids and the risks associated with this medication are often not well recognized. In many cases the use of steroids for many conditions are based on limited data. This Expert Series will review the pharmacology of steroids, risks associated with use, and recommendations for dosing. We will then provide evidence based data supporting or refuting the use of steroids in the most commonly encountered conditions in an otolaryngology practice.
