Critically ill patients cannot complain about eye problems. Eyecare is often overlooked in the intensive care units (ICUs) because treatment is mainly focused on failures of organ which results in eye complications which are preventable. Therefore, we report a case of a patient admitted to the ICU who developed unusual bilateral hemorrhagic chemosis. Although, chemosis has been encountered often in the ICU, hemorrhagic chemosis without prior direct trauma is unusual.
重症患者无法诉说眼部问题。在重症监护病房(ICU)中,眼保健常常被忽视,因为治疗主要集中在器官功能衰竭上,这会导致一些可预防的眼部并发症。因此,我们报告一例入住ICU的患者出现双侧罕见的出血性球结膜水肿的病例。虽然在ICU中经常会遇到球结膜水肿,但无前瞻性直接创伤的出血性球结膜水肿并不常见。
