Abstract: Patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) may present risk for corneal injury due to sedation or coma. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of corneal injuries; to identify the risk factors and to propose a risk prediction model for the development of corneal injury, in adult patients, in an intensive care unit of a public hospital. This is a one year, prospective cohort study with 254 patients. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate and logistic regression. Of the 2… Show more

“…The risk factors established through this clinical research support the proposed nursing diagnosis of risk for corneal injury . Therefore, this is a nursing problem that must be prevented and treated by nurses (Werli‐Alvarenga, Ercole, Botoni, Oliveira, & Chianca, 2011).…”

“…As for prevention, the best alternative relates to ocular care procedures through the creation of a tear film with the use of eye drops, lubricants, artificial tears or the constitution of a moisture chamber by the occlusion with polyethylene film. Another prevention option is ocular closure using gauzes, adhesives or even sutures (6,23) . As for detection, the nurse can autonomously or in teams conduct tests that allow generating guides to identify the phenomenon.…”

“…Once the phenomenon occurs, the cornea is the first ocular structure to suffer from the inefficiency of the tear film, with consequent damage to the ocular surface and possible serious impairment to the patient's vision, depending on the increase and extension of the damage (6) . To assess this damage, the vital fluorescein, rose bengal and lissamine green stains are used.…”
