AIM: To assess whether facemask utilisation by the surgeon during cataract surgery has any effect on the bacterial load falling onto the operative site. METHOD: Prospective randomised masked study. Consent was obtained from 221 patients. Cases were randomised to wearing a new mask or not wearing any mask throughout the procedure. Blood agar settle plates were placed adjacent to the patient's head in the operative field. Duration of procedure was noted. Plates were incubated and read at 48 hours. Colony forming bacteria were counted and identified. RESULTS: There were significantly fewer organisms cultured when the surgeon used a facemask (p=0.0006). The majority of organisms were Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus spp, and Diphtheroid spp; however Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were cultured on several occasions. There were no cases of infective complication. CONCLUSIONS: The main purpose of an operating mask is to prevent bacteria falling on to the operative site from the surgeon's oropharynx or nasopharynx with the concomitant theoretical risk of infective complication. Operating masks were shown to have a significant effect on the volume of bacterial organisms falling to the operative site; however, whether this is clinically significant is unknown. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To investigate the effectiveness of aspiration of expired air by a suction system on peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO(2)) during cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 160 pre-medicated patients aged between 40 and 70 years (ASA I-III, classification of patients according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists) scheduled for cataract surgery under retrobulbar or peribulbar block were examined in a randomised, single-blind manner. The patients were sedated with 3 mg midazolam i.v. 15 min before operation and were monitored with an anaesthesia monitor. Heart rate (HR), non-invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP), SpO(2) and EtCO(2) were continuously measured using a standardised monitor. The first group (non-suction group, n = 80) received 4 L min(-1) O(2) with nasal cannule while the second group (suction group, n = 80) received 4 L min(-1) O(2) with nasal cannule, and the expired air was aspired with a Y-piece suction system. EtCO(2) was measured with the line of the sampling tube in the anaesthesia monitor. Respiratory rate (RR) was counted for a period of 1 min at each measurement time with thoracic excursions. The results were evaluated by unpaired t-test and analysis of variance. RESULTS: Severe reduction of SpO(2) and raising of EtCO(2) were observed significantly in the first group during the operation. RR, HR and MAP increased due to hypoxaemia. In the second group, SpO(2) was stabilised at high levels and EtCO(2) did not increase. RR, HR and MAP levels remained within the normal limits. Differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: During cataract surgery with local anaesthesia, SpO(2) decreases and RR, HR and MAP increase because of reinspiration of expired air under the drape. Insufflation of O(2) and aspiration of expired air with a suction system have prevented severe reduction of SpO(2) and raising of EtCO(2). It was suggested that O(2) delivery and use of an aspiration system decreased the risk of hypoxaemia significantly in the patients undergoing the cataract surgery. 相似文献

Is intracameral lidocaine really effective in cataract surgery? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Välimäki JO 《European journal of ophthalmology》2007,17(3):332-335
PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of intracameral lidocaine in cataract surgery under topical anesthesia and especially if the patient wanted intravenous sedation preoperatively. METHODS: In this prospective study 96 patients were randomly assigned to receive 0.5 cc of balanced salt solution (Group 1) or 1% unpreserved lidocaine (Group 2). Patients who wanted sedation received intravenous midazolam hydrochloride. All surgery was done by one surgeon using a clear corneal technique. RESULTS: Mean pain scores were 0.73 (of a maximum 3) in Group 1 and 0.54 in Group 2; the difference between groups was not statistically significant. Forty patients in Group 1 (83%) and 44 patients in Group 2 (92%) reported no discomfort or only mild discomfort. The two study groups were comparable in need for intravenous midazolam. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant relationship between pain scores and intravenous sedation (p=0.02) but not with intracameral lidocaine or other tested variables. However, odds ratio for pain increased to 5.1 (95% CI; 1.29-20.41) in participants without intravenous sedation compared to those with sedation. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study suggest that intravenous sedation preoperatively seems to be an important determinant to relieve the sensation of discomfort/pain during small incision cataract surgery, but intracameral lidocaine was shown not to have a clinically useful role. 相似文献

Objective: To investigate the possibility that fasting is not required before cataract surgery.Study Design: Retrospective review.Participants: All patients who had cataract surgery alone (not combined with corneal or glaucoma surgery) at Mount St. Joseph Hospital between April 1, 2007, and March 31, 2008.Methods: Three methods were used to determine whether any cases of aspiration pneumonia after cataract surgery had occurred: recall by the supervising anaesthetist, a search of hospital medical records for admissions with a diagnosis of pneumonia, and recall by the operating surgeons.Results: In 5125 cases of cataract surgery, no case of aspiration pneumonia was found.Conclusions: This study suggests that it is safe to perform cataract surgery under topical or infiltration anaesthesia with intravenous sedation without fasting prior to surgery. 相似文献

Is manual small incision cataract surgery affordable in the developing countries? A cost comparison with extracapsular cataract extraction 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
AIM: To compare the cost of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with conventional extracapsular cataract surgery (ECCE) in community eye care settings. METHOD: A single masked randomised trial was used to compare the safety, efficacy, time, and patient satisfaction of surgery by both the techniques. The fixed facility and recurrent cost for the two procedures was calculated based on information collected from different sources. Average cost per procedure was calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of procedures performed. RESULT: The average cost of an ECCE procedure for the hospital was Rs 727.76 (US$15.82) and the average cost of a MSICS procedure was Rs 721.40 ($15.68), of which Rs. 521.51 ($11.34) was the fixed facility cost common to both. CONCLUSION: Both ECCE and MSICS are economical in community eye care settings, but MSICS is economical and gives better uncorrected visual acuity in a greater proportion of patients. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To determine the indications for internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal in stage 3 idiopathic macular holes (MHs). METHODS: Focal posterior vitreous detachments (PVDs) at MH rims were examined preoperatively by optical coherence tomography and binocular slit-lamp fundus examination in 19 patients retrospectively. All eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy and creation of a PVD, and some eyes underwent a second surgery to remove the ILM. Indications of ILM removal for MH closure were discussed. RESULTS: Preoperatively, 9 eyes did not (non-PVD group) and 10 eyes did (PVD group) have complete focal PVDs. In all nine eyes in the non-PVD group, MHs were closed after the creation of a PVD without ILM peeling (P <0.05, chi test). In the PVD group, 5 eyes (50%) had MHs closed by making PVD complete without ILM removal, and 5 eyes (50%) required ILM removal in a second surgery. In the end, closure of MHs was achieved in all eyes. CONCLUSION: Anatomic closure of stage 3 idiopathic MHs without a PVD at the rim of the hole may be achieved only by creating a PVD without ILM removal. 相似文献

Purpose
To discover what cataract patients see during phacoemulsification and if these light phenomena influence their anxiety levels during surgery.Methods
In all, 200 patients were interviewed intraoperatively at the Eye Hospital, Petrisberg, Trier, Germany. The quality of the visual experiences was described and if these were pleasant, neutral or unpleasant. Systemic sedation was noted.Results
Among 200 patients (209 eyes): 88 were men (91 eyes; 44%) and 112 were women (118 eyes; 56%). Median age (years): men (71), women (70). Mean operating time was 8 min. 49/209 (23%) were not anxious before and during surgery. 110/209 (52%) were more anxious before than during surgery, 50/209 (24%) were still anxious during surgery, 27/209 (13%) got sedation with midazolam (1–5 mg). Colours in descending order seen: blue, red, pink, yellow, green, purple, turquois, and orange. The most dominant colour combination was red/blue. Structures were seen by 162/209 (78%). Most (61%) intraoperative visual experiences were pleasant, 38% were neutral, and 1% found them transiently unpleasant. Three patients felt blinded by the light of the operating microscope.Conclusions
The experience of colours and other light phenomena was pleasant for most patients during phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia. They occur spontaneously when the patient is fixating on the operating light. They are not dependent on the individual or environment. Sedation only in 13%. Direct questioning for visual sensations by the operating surgeon may lead to less need for sedation and lead to less side effects for elderly and multimorbidity people postoperatively. The surgeon can use this knowledge to reassure patients during surgery. 相似文献17.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Bimanual microincisional cataract surgery has recently become a procedure of interest among cataract surgeons, and a number of trials have shown its potential as a minimally invasive cataract surgery. The purpose of this review is to examine the studies that have been published to date and to evaluate the potential of bimanual phacoemulsification as a method of cataract extraction. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies have reinforced the safety of bimanual phacoemulsification. In particular, recently published studies have focused on evaluating various phacoemulsification technologies and their safety when used in bimanual phacoemulsification. Newly developed rollable hydrophilic acrylic ThinOptX lenses have been shown to be implantable in 2.2-mm incisions safely with good visual outcomes. SUMMARY: Bimanual phacoemulsification has been a potential technique for a number of years, but only recently have the technology, software, and technique advanced sufficiently to make bimanual phacoemulsification a feasible method of cataract extraction. Although the main disadvantage to bimanual phacoemulsification remains the lack of intraocular lenses that can fit through microincisions, necessitating the enlargement of corneal wounds for intraocular lens implantation, bimanual phacoemulsification has a number of advantages over traditional small-incision phacoemulsification. Theses advantages have been a source of interest for cataract surgeons and surgical companies who are now developing technologies that will permit the performance of truly microincisional cataract surgery. 相似文献

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: There is a suggestion of increased risk or progression of age-related macular degeneration after cataract surgery, which is related to the increased exposure of the retina to short-wavelength light. RECENT FINDINGS: Cell culture and animal work has described retinal and retinal pigment epithelium phototoxicity on acute light exposure. Clinical studies suggest that the use of short-wavelength-blocking intraocular lenses can help but may also affect visual function and circadian rhythm. SUMMARY: Evidence to date fails to prove conclusively that light alone or cataract surgery can induce or cause the progression of age-related macular degeneration. A randomized clinical study of the use of short-wavelength (blue)-blocking lenses to prove or disprove the ability of these intraocular lenses to help in preventing progression of age-related macular degeneration is needed. 相似文献
