To examine the effect of immediate irrigation on ocular alkali burn.
Information on the injury, immediate irrigation, and ocular findings was retrospectively obtained from each patient's record.
36 patients (49 eyes) irrigated their eyes with tap water (the irrigation group) and 17 patients (29 eyes) did not (no irrigation group). The mean age of patients in the irrigation and no irrigation groups was 30 and 53 years, respectively. According to Hugher's classification, 76% of eyes in the irrigation group had grade 1 injury, while 86% of eyes in the no irrigation group had grade 2 injuries. Mean time from the injury until healing was 8 days in the irrigation group and 29 days in the no irrigation group, respectively.
Immediate copious irrigation with tap water reduced the severity in alkali burns of the eye and shortened the healing time.
探讨即刻冲洗对眼碱烧伤的影响。
从每位患者的病历中回顾性获取有关损伤、即刻冲洗及眼部检查结果的信息。
36例患者（49只眼）用自来水冲洗眼睛（冲洗组），17例患者（29只眼）未冲洗（未冲洗组）。冲洗组和未冲洗组患者的平均年龄分别为30岁和53岁。根据休格分类法，冲洗组76%的眼为1级损伤，而未冲洗组86%的眼为2级损伤。冲洗组从受伤到愈合的平均时间为8天，未冲洗组为29天。
即刻用大量自来水冲洗可减轻眼碱烧伤的严重程度并缩短愈合时间。
