Résumé
Objective:To explore the nursing cooperation of gonioscope assisted transluminal trabeculectomy (GATT).Methods:From February 2019 to August 2020, preoperative visits, preoperative equipment debugging and surgical instrument preparation were conducted for 30 patients (30 eyes) undergoing GATT for open-angle glaucoma in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University. Nurses closely attended the patients and expertly cooperated with doctors in the intraoperative management of patients. The incidence of complications was observed. The intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication were compared before and after operation.Results:Totally 30 cases (30 eyes) completed the operation successfully without serious complications and nursing adverse events. Twenty-six patients (86.7%) completed 360° total incision, and four patients (13.3%) completed 270° total incision. The mean preoperative IOP was (27.43±6.46) mmHg (1 mmHg= 0.133 kPa), the mean postoperative IOP was (13.67±3.01)mmHg. The difference between preoperative and postoperative IOP and the use of anti-glaucoma drugs were of statistical significance ( t value was 10.67, Z value was 4.18, P<0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of fine nursing for patients with GATT can ensure the smooth operation, reduce the incidence of complications and improve the postoperative rehabilitation effect.
Résumé
OBJECTIVE@#The aim of this paper was to create a Portable Gonioscopy System (PGS) that is effcient and cost-effective in documenting iridocorneal angles.@*METHODS@#A 4-mirror gonioscopy prism lens was attached to a portable USB microscope with a built-in camera. The microscope was then connected to a laptop for viewing of the images. A lubricant was instilled and the portable gonioscope was placed parallel to the cornea for viewing and recording of iridocorneal angles. Images were fled and stored in a laptop.@*RESULTS@#The portable gonioscopy system allowed suffcient viewing and recording of the iridocorneal angles. The total cost of producing the portable gonioscopy system was PHP 25,000.00.@*CONCLUSION@#Iridocorneal angles can be visualized and recorded using the portable gonioscopy system. This device requires skill and expertise from professional prototypist to create. Like gonioscopy, this system also has a steep learning curve. The researchers are continuously improving the device adding more features and making it more affordable and easier to use.
