Eye care during general anaesthesia is an important part of anaesthesia care. Eye injuries are reasonably common if care is not taken to prevent them. ==Incidence of eye injuries== The incidence of eye injuries during general anaesthesia has been studied, and different methods of eye protection have been compared. If tape is used to hold the eyes closed, ocular injury occurs during 0.1- 0.5% of general anaesthetics, and is usually corneal in nature. 〔S Contractor & JG Hardman 2006, 'Injury During Anaesthesia', ''Continuing Education in Anaesthesia, Critical Care & Pain'', vol. 6, no. 2, pp. 67-70, ("Read Article" )〕 〔VK Grover, KV Kumar, S Sharma & SP Grewal 1998, 'Comparison of Methods of Eye Protection under General Anaesthesia', ''Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia'', vol. 45, no. 6, pp. 575-7, ("Read Article" )〕 When eyes are untaped during general anaesthesia, the incidence of ocular injury has been reported to be as high as 44%. 〔C Marcucci, NA Cohen, DG Metro & JR Kirsch 2008, ''Avoiding Common Anesthesia Errors'', Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia PA USA.〕 〔Kocaturk, O, Kocaturk, T, Kaan, N & Dayanir V 2012 'The Comparison of Four Different Methods of Perioperative Eye Protection under General Anesthesia in Prone Position', ''Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine'', vol. 3, no. 2, pp. 163-5 ("Read Article" )〕 Intraoperative eye injuries account for 2% of medico-legal claims against anaesthetists in Australia and United Kingdom 〔 〔 and 3% in the USA. 〔J Anson, 'Perioperative Corneal Abrasions: Etiology, Prevention, and Management', ''Pennsylvania Society of Anesthesiologists'', ("Read Article" ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eye injuries during general anaesthesia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
