Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

623
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...

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management01:28

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

122
Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

18
Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

236
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

699
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...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

3.6K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Summary

Ophthalmological institutions worldwide lack consensus on managing hyphema, a common eye trauma complication. Current practices vary, highlighting the need for evidence-based guidelines to standardize patient care and improve outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Care
  • Clinical Practice Guidelines

Background:

  • Hyphema, a consequence of ocular trauma, presents significant morbidity.
  • Current management strategies for hyphema are inconsistent across institutions.
  • There is a need to understand global practices in hyphema management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize and analyze current hyphema management practices in ophthalmological institutions globally.
  • To identify variations and potential areas of consensus in clinical approaches to hyphema.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional online survey was distributed internationally.
  • The survey collected data on hyphema management protocols from August 2020 to January 2021.
  • Respondents represented institutions across North America, Asia, South America, Africa, Europe, and Australia.

Main Results:

  • Topical steroids (prednisolone preferred) and cycloplegics are widely used (94.4%).
  • Head elevation (86.3%) and partial bed rest (58.3%) are common conservative measures; antifibrinolytics are not routinely used.
  • Most institutions (69.4%) do not routinely admit hyphema patients but schedule close follow-up (75.0% within 48 hours).
  • Sickle cell trait testing is infrequent (16.7%); anterior chamber washout decisions are individualized.

Conclusions:

  • International consensus on hyphema management is lacking.
  • Many current interventions lack robust supporting evidence.
  • Development of evidence-based guidelines is crucial for standardized and effective hyphema care.
  • Identifying areas of consensus can inform future research and standard of care development.
