简要总结
Study Rationale:
The insertion of a bandage contact lens or punctal plug in a defined group of patients admitted to the ICU may be more effective than standard care in decreasing the incidence of corneal injuries.
Study Objectives:
- To document the effect of a contact bandage lens and punctal plug in preventing corneal injuries in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU.
- To assess the safety of a contact bandage lens and punctal plug in critically ill patients.
详细描述
This is a prospective, randomized study
Study Population:
Consecutive patients admitted to the General Intensive Care Unit of the Rabin Medical Center and Sharon Hospital Medical Center over a 6-month period who meet criteria for inclusion.
Procedures:
Consecutive patients meeting inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomized to 3 groups: the bandage contact lens group, who will be assigned to insertion of a bandage contact lens; the punctal plug group, who will be assigned to the insertion of punctal plugs; and the control group, who will be assigned to standard eye care as currently practiced in the ICU.
