RESUMO

Exposure keratopathy is a sight-threatening complication which can occur in patients admitted to intensive care units. This is a prospective study over a period of 5 months in the intensive care unit of the specialty hospital of the IBN SINA medical center, with a capacity of 8 beds. The purpose of our study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for exposure keratopathy in intensive care settings. Forty-two percent of patients developed exposure keratopathy, 48% exhibited chemosis, and 40% showed lagophthalmos with the cornea visible in 30% of cases. The frequency of keratopathy was significantly higher in patients with chemosis and lagophthalmos (P<0.0001). Lagophthalmos was significantly related to chemosis (P<0.0001). Chemosis in the ventilated patient, also known as "ventilator eye," is a serious complication leading to the risk of keratopathy. The risk factors for keratopathy found in our series were chemosis (OR=25.28, 95% CI=[3.339-191.52] P-value=0.002), lagophthalmos (OR=40.8, 95% CI=[4.347-383.666] P-value=0.001) and length of stay in intensive care (OR=12.28, 95% CI=[1.476-102.230] P-value=0.020). Several methods might be used and adapted to each case for prevention of exposure keratopathy, and we found that raising nursing staff awareness is of paramount importance.
