Ocular complications following burns are frequent, with delayed diagnosis impacting vision. Facial burns, burn depth, and mechanical ventilation are significant risk factors for corneal abscesses in burn patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Burn Care
  • Critical Care Medicine

Context:

  • Ocular lesions are common complications in burn patients.
  • Delayed diagnosis of ocular lesions can lead to severe visual impairment and vision loss.
  • Burn injuries necessitate comprehensive management, including vigilant eye care.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively assess the incidence, clinical presentation, and outcomes of ocular lesions in patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for burn injuries.
  • To identify risk factors associated with the development of corneal abscesses in this patient population.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study reviewed 26 burn patients with ocular lesions admitted to a burn ICU between 2013 and 2020.
  • Common clinical signs included eye redness and purulent discharge, with corneal abscess and ulcer being the primary diagnoses.

  • Risk factors for corneal abscess included facial burns, burn depth, and mechanical ventilation, with 2 patients experiencing vision loss.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of early ocular assessment in burn patients to prevent vision loss.
    • Provides critical data on risk factors for corneal abscesses, informing preventative strategies.
    • Emphasizes the need for integrated care between burn management and ophthalmology services in critical care settings.
