Intracameral phosphate buffer in alkali burns.

T O Bennett, G A Peyman, J Rutgard

    Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology. Journal Canadien D'Ophtalmologie
    |April 1, 1978

    Summary

    Phosphate buffer perfusion can reduce alkali-induced eye damage in rabbits if administered within thirty minutes of exposure. This treatment helps mitigate corneal and lens injury from chemical burns.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Toxicology
    • Biomedical Research

    Background:

    • Alkali chemical burns cause significant damage to the cornea and lens.
    • Prompt intervention is crucial for managing ocular chemical injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of phosphate buffer perfusion in reducing alkali-induced ocular damage.
    • To determine the optimal timing for buffer perfusion treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Albino rabbits' eyes were exposed to sodium hydroxide burns.
    • Eyes were perfused with phosphate buffer at varying intervals: immediately, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes post-exposure.
    • A control group received no buffer treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Phosphate buffer perfusion significantly reduced corneal and lens damage.
    • Treatment was most effective when administered within 30 minutes of alkali exposure.

    Conclusions:

    • Phosphate buffer perfusion is a viable therapeutic strategy for alkali-induced ocular injuries.
    • Timely intervention with buffer perfusion is critical for minimizing tissue damage and preserving ocular integrity.
