Retrobulbar block for open-eye injuries: a report of 19 cases
CRNA : the Clinical Forum for Nurse Anesthetists
|February 1, 1992
Abstract:
In open-eye injuries, which are often emergency procedures where the patient may have a full stomach or be in precarious health, retrobulbar anesthesia offers definite advantages over general anesthesia. A "low-volume" technique is described which gives adequate anesthesia without dangerously increasing intraocular pressure. A table containing the salient description and outcome of 19 anesthetics given in this manner is included.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
