Exam under Anesthesia?

A

Done on their own, or in conjugation w/another surgery

Q

What is Bells Phenomenon?

A

When the eyeballs move upward and outward when forcefully closed. It is what the body uses to protect the cornea.

Most often seen during speculum insertion & traction on the muscles

Q

What is an ERG?

A

Electroretinograms
These are done prior to an EUA to assess the actual cones and rods and how functional they are.

Put them to sleep, cover eyes for 20 minutes, just wait.

Q

What is retinoblastoma?

A

Occular cancer of retina affecting kids < 4 (usually). There is a tumor in the eye (1:3 are bilateral). Genetic? Sometimes. Usually, no family hx. Frequently from Huntersville, NC.

Curable… but increased risk of other cancers later in life..

Q

Anesthesia Considerations for an Open Globe

A
  • Dehydrated patient
  • GA + ETT
  • Oral Rae (unless > 6 ft, b/c an 8.0 won’t be long enough)
  • Probs the only eye case that needs antibiotics
30
Q

ABX for Open Globe

A

Vanc

Zosyn

31
Q

Corneal Transplant Melts

A

Corneal transplant has rejected or suture has become undone… leaving an opening to the eye

32
Q

Corneal Transplant Melts Anesthesia

A

GA - if patient coughs, the eye contents will extrude
LMA vs ETT (depends on severity of eye)
Don’t block these patients

33
Q

Canaliculi Repair

A

Usually from dog bites
NPO status is good, so use LMA
quick procedure

34
Q

Endopthalmitis

A

Infection of the tissues or fluids INSIDE the eyeball
Retina surgeon does a vitrectomy to remove infected vitreous gel and inject abx into the eye
Block or no block depending on extent of infection

35
Q

Endopthalmitis Anesthesia

A

GA - ETT (retina cases)
Lasts 3 - 4 hours

Potentially MAC (PBB/RBB)

36
Q

When do you use paralytics

A

Only if coughing would cause a major problem (i.e. retina or open globe)

37
Q

RBBB

A
  • less volume
  • more chance of hemorrhage b/c anesthetic is placed inside muscle cone
  • spread of LA into CSF = death in 5 m
  • better akinesia for the surgeon
38
Q

PBB

A
  • may require an injection above & below the orbit
  • can be patchy (may need to ask fo more local)
  • safer
39
Q

Mac/Cutdown

A

aka topical anesthetic
2 - 6 tetracaine drops (in divided doses 1 - 2 minutes apart) prior to prep

eye can only hold 1 mL at a time

40
Q

extensive opeen globe case

A

consider a foley!!!

41
Q

Diamox (Acetazolamide)

A

carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to lower pressure in the eye by lowering the amount of aqueous humor production in front of eye

Dose: 250 - 500 mg
Mix w/NS
Give at end of the case
DONT GIVE WITH ANOTHER DRUG ESP. ZOFRAN
CONTRAINDICATED W/ SULFA

just drops with kids

42
Q

what is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults

A

DM (age 20 - 74)

Cataracts (worldwide)

43
Q

What is the annulus of Zinn?

A

tissue ring around the optic nerve

good landmark for point of insertion of many muscles

44
Q

What is the volume of each adult orbit?

A

30 mL

an orbit contains an eyeball (globe) + other structures

45
Q

Opthalmic artery

A

first branch of internal carotid, passes into orbit through optic canal (lies inferolateral to optic nerve)

46
Q

What is the visual axis?

A

Optic axis

Imaginary line from the midpoint of cornea to midpoint of retina/macula

47
Q

What is axial length?

A

A measurement of the visual axis.

Measured preoperatively to determine appropriate intraocular lens.

48
Q

Normal axial length

A

23 - 23.5 mm

49
Q

Hyperopia

A

Farsighted

< 22 mm

50
Q

Myopia

A

Nearsighted
> 24 mm

increased chance of puncturing globe

51
Q

What is in the posterior segment?

A

vitreous humor, retina, macula, root of optic nerve

52
Q

Name CN involved in vision

A

2-7, 10

2 = optic
3 = occulomotor
4 = trochlear
5 = trigeminal
6 = abducens
7 = facial
10 = vagus
53
Q

OPTIC N

A

CN 2
Orbital portion of the optic nerve is 25 - 30 mm long
Travels posteriorly within the muscle cone
4 mm diameter; outgrowth of brain
Covered by meninges
Central retinal artery & vein surround the nerve

54
Q

Occulomotor N muscles

A

Inneervates superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, and levator

55
Q

CN III PSNS vs SNS

A

PSNS to ciliary ganglion & pupil constriction

SNS to pupil dilation

56
Q

Trochlear nerve

A

motor fibers to superior oblique muscle

57
Q

what is unique about cn 4

A

enters orbit from outside muscle cone

58
Q

CN 5

A

sensory + motor

forms trigeminal ganglion

59
Q

three divisions of trigeminal nerve

A

opthalmic (lacrimal, frontal, nasociliary)
maxillary
mandibular

60
Q

abducens n

A

CN 6 to lateral rectus

61
Q

facial nerve

A

motor to facial muscles

62
Q

vagus

A

efferent pathway for OCR

63
Q

superior rectus

A

supraduction (3)

64
Q

inferior rectus

A

infraduction (3)

65
Q

medial rectus

A

adduction (3)

66
Q

lateral rectus

A

abduction (6)

67
Q

superior oblique

A

intorsion, depression (4)

68
Q

inferior oblique

A

extorsion, elevation (3)

69
Q

what raises the upper eyelids

70
Q

what contracts the eyelid

71
Q

what raises ICP

A

squinting, contraction of levator or orbicular
