The Keeler Pulsair non-contact tonometer was compared with the Goldmann applanation tonometer in a series of 48 eyes after operation. A correlation coefficient of 0.92 (p less than 0.001) was found between the two instruments, with the Pulsair having a statistically significant tendency to overread the Goldmann slightly in this situation. The Pulsair was, however, shown to be effective in the identification of postoperative ocular hypertension with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity and good patient compliance, while reducing the risk of cross infection.
在48只术后眼睛中,对Keeler Pulsair非接触眼压计与Goldmann压平眼压计进行了比较。发现两种仪器之间的相关系数为0.92(p小于0.001),在这种情况下,Pulsair眼压计在统计学上有略微高于Goldmann眼压计读数的显著趋势。然而,Pulsair眼压计被证明在识别术后高眼压方面有效,具有高度的敏感性和特异性,患者依从性良好,同时降低了交叉感染的风险。
