—-
tetanus booster

46

  • examine eyelid for crepitus
  • monitor for progressive proptosis/visual changes
  • exam retina for central retinal artery occlusion
47
Q

s&s for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

hx of sig trauma, pain with movement, diplopia, swelling of eyelids with sneezing
enopthalmos (posterior displaced globe), point tenderness, numbness or tingling of upper lip/cheek, extra ocular movements are restricted, Positive Seidel’s sign - globe rupture anterior chamber

48
Q

f/u and Rx discussion for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

A

admitted, optho emergent consults; f/u PCP

rx may cause nausea and diarrhea

49
Q

pt was in severe pain and eyelid spasms after exposed to an irritant in their eye after cleaning the bathroom with bleach, this is indicative of?

A

chemical injury

50
Q

complications for chemical injury

A

dependent of the irritant chemical - blindness
