What does the ear tubes do and what happens if they fail?
Ear tubes, or tympanostomy tubes, are small cylindrical devices inserted into the eardrum to allow air to enter the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup, thus reducing the risk of infections and improving hearing. If ear tubes fail, they may become blocked, fall out prematurely, or not function as intended, leading to a return of middle ear infections, persistent fluid accumulation, and potential hearing loss. This can necessitate additional medical intervention or a repeat procedure. Regular monitoring by an ear, nose, and throat specialist is essential to address any issues that arise.
What tubes lead from the middle ear to the nasal cavity and the throat?
The tubes that lead from the middle ear to the nasal cavity and throat are called the Eustachian tubes. These tubes help regulate air pressure in the middle ear, drain fluids, and protect the ear from infections.
Name the different types of artificial airways inserted through the larynx?

Do baby's ears drain after an ear infection?

Is a surgical incision of the eardrum to create an opening for the placement of the ear tubes?
Yes, a surgical incision of the eardrum to create an opening for the placement of ear tubes is known as a myringotomy. This procedure allows for the drainage of fluid from the middle ear and helps prevent future infections by facilitating air flow. Ear tubes are then inserted through the incision to maintain the opening and promote ventilation. Myringotomy is commonly performed in children with recurrent ear infections or chronic otitis media.

If you are talking in a post-surgical sense (right after you wake up from surgery) then it's most likely the anesthesia. Talking from personal experience, I've had tubes in my ears and I vomited (sorry to be gross) right after waking up. However, if you are vomiting after a few days or a week of having your tubes in, then I suggest going to your physician. Also perhaps due to the imbalances created from the insertion of the tubes.
