Ventilated, critically ill patients have an increased risk of corneal exposure and microbial keratitis; however there is evidence that eye care is a neglected area of patient care. An audit of eye surface disease and eye care documentation revealed a problem within one general intensive care unit (GICU). An education programme was developed to highlight the incidence of eye surface disease and importance of eye care in the ventilated patient.
机械通气的重症患者发生角膜暴露和感染性角膜炎的风险增加;然而,有证据表明眼部护理是患者护理中一个被忽视的领域。一项关于眼表疾病和眼部护理记录的审计揭示了一个综合重症监护病房(GICU)存在的问题。于是制定了一项教育计划,以强调眼表疾病的发生率以及眼部护理在机械通气患者中的重要性。
