The eyes of 200 healthy adult patients undergoing general anesthesia were stained with fluorescein strips for detection of corneal abrasion in the immediate postoperative period. Twenty-six of 59 patients in whom the eyes remained partly open showed positive staining--an incidence of 44 percent. The remaining 141 patients in whom the eyes were naturally closed or protected with adhesive tape or vaseline gauze did not develop exposure keratitis. It is suggested that covering of eyes is necessary in all cases undergoing general anesthesia so as to avoid this frequent complication of anesthesia.
对200例接受全身麻醉的健康成年患者的眼睛用荧光素试纸进行染色，以检测术后即刻的角膜擦伤情况。在59例眼睛部分睁开的患者中，有26例染色呈阳性——发生率为44%。其余141例眼睛自然闭合或用胶带或凡士林纱布保护的患者未发生暴露性角膜炎。建议在所有接受全身麻醉的病例中都要遮盖眼睛，以避免这种常见的麻醉并发症。
