Abstract: | It is common for children in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) to have impaired ocular defence mechanisms. The authors discovered inconsistencies in eye care practice in their PICU and found that there were no clinical guidelines available to promote evidence-based practice and prevent corneal complications. This article describes the issues involved and the development of a guideline that is now in use. |
