High vacuum combined with burst mode phacoemulsification significantly reduces phaco time and power, enhancing safety and improving outcomes. This method is clinically safe and effective for cataract surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Phacoemulsification is a standard cataract surgery technique.
  • Optimizing phacoemulsification parameters is crucial for patient outcomes and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of high vacuum combined with burst mode on phacoemulsification.
  • To compare the efficacy and safety of burst mode phacoemulsification with continuous and pulse modes.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized study involving 954 eyes (819 patients) divided into continue, pulse, and burst phacoemulsification groups.
  • Phacoemulsification parameters including vacuum, phaco power, phaco time, visual acuity, and corneal endothelial cell loss were recorded.
  • High vacuum (250-300 mm Hg) was used in the burst group, while lower vacuum (160 mm Hg) was used in continue and pulse groups.

Main Results:

  • Burst mode significantly reduced actual phaco power and phaco time compared to continue and pulse modes (P < 0.001).
  • Postoperative corneal endothelial cell loss and corneal edema were significantly lower in the pulse and burst groups than in the continue group (P < 0.005).
  • Visual acuity improved significantly in all groups, with a statistically significant difference favoring the burst group over the continue group.

Conclusions:

  • High vacuum with pulse or burst phacoemulsification effectively reduces operative time and energy delivery.
  • Burst mode phacoemulsification enhances phaco chop effectiveness, minimizes corneal endothelial cell loss, and reduces corneal edema.
  • Burst mode phacoemulsification is a safe and clinically viable option for cataract surgery.
