Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of different eye protection methods and to assess risk factors for ocular complications in patients under general anaesthesia. Eighty patients who were to be operated under general anaesthesia were divided into four eye protection groups, consisting of, adhesive patch, antibiotic ointment, artificial tear gel, and preservative-free artificial gel. Ethical approval was obtained from the ethical committee. The patients were evaluated with Schirmer test pre-operatively. Post-operatively the patients were evaluated by a questionnaire form and with Fluorescein and Rose-Bengal staining test. Nine (% 11.25) of the patients suffered from eye complication. Keratitis was more common in the head and neck surgery, extended surgery and in the adhesive patch group. There was a statistically significant correlation between Fluorescein, Rose-Bengal staining and the presence of keratitis It can be assumed that adhesive patching as an eye protection method was not adequate to prevent ocular complications especially in patients going through extended operations and head-neck surgery. It should be remembered that antibiotic ointments and artificial tear formulations can be adequate preventive options.

Özet

Gözdışı cerrahi sırasında farklı göz koruma yöntemlerinin etkinlik farklılıkları ile hastanın yaşı, cinsiyeti, ASA sınıflaması, ameliyat bölgesi, süresi, pozisyon ile göz komplikasyonlarının ilişkisi araştırıldı. Genel anestezi altında ameliyat olacak 80 erişkin ASA I-II hasta, etik komite izni alındıktan sonra göz koruma yöntemi açısından dört gruba ayrıldı. (Grup I adeziv bant, Grup II antibiyotikli pomat, Grup III yapay gözyaşı ve Grup IV koruyucu içermeyen yapay gözyaşı). Hastalara ameliyat öncesi Schirmer testi uygulandı ve kuru göz bulguları olmadığı saptanarak ameliyata alındı. Ameliyat odasında, hastaların gözleri rasgele korundu. Ameliyat sonrası dönemde yöntemden habersiz bir doktor tarafından hastaların göz yakınmaları sorgulandı ve Fluorosein ve Rose-Bengal boya skorları ile değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, ameliyat tipi, süresi, pozisyonu, göz koruma yöntemi ve boya skorları kaydedildi. Dokuz hastada 9 (% 11.25) göz koınplikasyonu gelişti. Gözleri yalnızca adeziv bant ile korunmuş Grup l 'de, baş-boyun bölgesinden ameliyat olmuş hastalarda, uzun süreli ameliyatlarda keratit daha sık görüldü. Fluorosein ve Rose-Bengal boya skorlaması keratit gelişmiş hastalarda daha yüksek bulundu. Özellikle uzun süreli ameliyatlarda ve baş-boyun bölge cerrahisi olgularında adeziv bant ile göz kapamasının yeterli olamayabileceği, antibiyotikli pomad ve yapay gözyaşı seçeneklerinin bulunduğunun unutulmaması gerektiği kanısındayız.
