Checking the integrity of eyes in prone position: A novel application of video laryngoscopes
Perioperative visual loss is a rare but severe complication after surgery in prone position. One of several mechanisms is direct ophthalmic compression. This can be avoided through optimal positioning and padding of the head, but position and integrity of the eyes need to be checked at regular inter...

description | Perioperative visual loss is a rare but severe complication after surgery in prone position. One of several mechanisms is direct ophthalmic compression. This can be avoided through optimal positioning and padding of the head, but position and integrity of the eyes need to be checked at regular intervals. We describe the use of a conventional video laryngoscope during vascular surgery in prone position as a simple solution for intermittent monitoring of external integrity of the eyes and size of the pupils. This requires no additional material and allows documentation of the findings. Our method might reduce complications and improve patient outcome. |
