“…49 Most centers provide a brightly colored wrist band indicating the type of gas used. 50 Anesthesia providers must be aware of the presence and type of vitreous gas bubble to prevent inadvertent vision-threatening increases in intraocular pressure, which can lead directly to central retinal artery occlusion in patients with recent retinal detachment surgeries or vitrectomies.…”

Perioperative Care of the Patient with Eye Pathologies Undergoing Nonocular Surgery

The authors reviewed perioperative ocular complications and implications of ocular diseases during nonocular surgeries. Exposure keratopathy, the most common perioperative eye injury, is preventable. Ischemic optic neuropathy, the leading cause of perioperative blindness, has well-defined risk factors. The incidence of ischemic optic neuropathy after spine fusion, but not cardiac surgery, has been decreasing. Central retinal artery occlusion during spine fusion surgery can be prevented by protecting eyes from compression. Perioperative acute angle closure glaucoma is a vision-threatening emergency that can be successfully treated by rapid reduction of elevated intraocular pressure. Differential diagnoses of visual dysfunction in the perioperative period and treatments are detailed. Although glaucoma is increasingly prevalent and often questions arise concerning perioperative anesthetic management, evidence-based recommendations to guide safe anesthesia care in patients with glaucoma are currently lacking. Patients with low vision present challenges to the anesthesia provider that are becoming more common as the population ages.
