An eye care algorithm effectively prevented ocular surface disease in sedated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. This protocol also proved efficient, potentially reducing healthcare provider workload for critically ill individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Intensive Care Medicine
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Sedated and unconscious patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are at high risk for ocular surface disease.
  • Prompt and appropriate eye care is crucial for preventing complications in this vulnerable population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy and efficiency of a novel eye care algorithm.
  • To determine the algorithm's effectiveness in preventing ocular surface disease in ICU patients.

Main Methods:

  • An eye care algorithm was implemented for sedated/unconscious ICU patients over a four-month period.
  • Preventive measure adherence was monitored, and ocular parameters (lid position, keratopathy) were assessed.
  • Data on sedation scores and treatments were systematically documented.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm was followed by 23 patients, with a low prevalence (8.7%) of ocular surface abnormalities.
  • Ocular lubricants and lid taping successfully maintained corneal clarity in high-risk patients.
  • No corneal staining occurred in patients managed with lid closure for exposure.

Conclusions:

  • The developed eye care algorithm is effective in preventing ocular surface abnormalities.
  • The algorithm demonstrates efficiency, potentially decreasing the nursing workload for critically ill patients.
  • Implementation of standardized eye care protocols is vital in the ICU setting.
