Variations in intraocular pressure during closed-system surgical procedures.

L C Moorhead, C D Armeniades

    Archives of Ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)

    Summary

    Intraocular pressure (IOP) can rapidly change during eye surgery, reaching up to 110 mm Hg. Monitoring infusion line pressure is unreliable for assessing true IOP, highlighting the need for direct IOP monitoring and control during ophthalmic procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Intraocular pressure (IOP) management is critical during ophthalmic surgery.
    • Current methods for monitoring IOP during surgery may be inadequate.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To accurately measure true intraocular pressure (IOP) during anterior segment surgery and vitrectomy in rabbits.
    • To evaluate the reliability of infusion line pressure as an indicator of IOP during these procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Miniature pressure sensors were inserted into the anterior chamber and vitreous of rabbit eyes.
    • Infusion fluid pressure was simultaneously measured using a sensor in the infusion line.
    • IOP and infusion line pressure were recorded during simulated surgical conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Significant and rapid IOP fluctuations, up to 110 mm Hg, were observed during simulated surgical procedures.
    • Infusion line pressure changes did not correlate with actual IOP fluctuations.
    • Elevating the infusion bottle height had minimal effect on IOP when fluid egress was present.

    Conclusions:

    • Infusion line pressure is an unreliable indicator of true intraocular pressure during ophthalmic surgery.
    • Direct IOP measurement is essential for managing IOP during anterior segment surgery and vitrectomy.
    • Effective IOP control strategies are necessary to prevent potential ocular damage during surgery.
