Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring is crucial during ophthalmic surgery.
  • Vitrectomy procedures can lead to significant dynamic IOP fluctuations.
  • Accurate real-time IOP measurement during surgery remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To directly measure dynamic intraocular pressure (IOP) during vitrectomy.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of disposable pressure transducers in the infusion line for indirect IOP measurement during vitrectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental clinical study involving 10 patients undergoing vitrectomy.
  • Direct IOP measurement using a catheter transducer inserted via a pars plana incision.
  • Indirect IOP measurement using disposable blood pressure transducers in the infusion line.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Simultaneous pressure readings during various surgical maneuvers like air-fluid exchange.

    • Main Results:

    • Directly measured IOP exhibited wide fluctuations, ranging from 0 to 120 mm Hg during vitrectomy.
    • Indirect IOP measurements from infusion line sensors accurately correlated with direct measurements during fluid flow.
    • Inline sensors demonstrated reliability in reflecting dynamic IOP changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Closed vitrectomy procedures are associated with substantial IOP variability.
    • Disposable inline pressure sensors provide accurate IOP monitoring during fluid infusion in vitrectomy.
    • This technology offers a viable method for real-time IOP assessment during vitreoretinal surgery.
