COVID-19大流行促使全球眼科实践方式发生了重大变化。包括全印度眼科学会在内的全球各个机构已经发布了关于安全眼科实践的一般指南。虽然这些都适合眼科整体,他们不完全适合亚专业实践,特别是儿科眼科,斜视和神经眼科,这需要和孩子打交道,在全身麻醉下进行手术,并处理可能危及生命的情况。一群子专家和麻醉师几乎见面,并就与这些眼科子专业有关的实践和全身麻醉方案达成共识。专家组提出的建议是具体的,但可以普遍遵循,以确保医生和患者的最佳和最安全的结果。这些建议涉及列出儿科眼科和神经眼科领域需要紧急或紧急护理的条件,儿科和神经眼科眼科检查的注意事项和技术,以及为儿科眼科手术提供安全全身麻醉的方案。
The COVID-19 Pandemic has prompted substantial changes in the way ophthalmology is practiced globally. General
guidelines on safe ophthalmic practice have been issued by various bodies across the globe including the All India Ophthalmological Society. While these are suitable to ophthalmology overall, they are not entirely suitable to a subspecialty practice, particularly pediatric ophthalmology, strabismus and neuro-ophthalmology, which entails dealing with children, surgery under general anesthesia and managing possible life threatening situations. A group of sub-specialists and anesthetists met virtually and arrived at a
consensus with regard to practice and general anesthesia protocols pertaining to these subspecialties of ophthalmology. The recommendations made by the expert group are specific yet can be universally followed to ensure the best and safest outcome for the practitioner and patient alike. The recommendations pertain to listing conditions which need emergency or urgent care in the fields of pediatric ophthalmology and neuro-ophthalmology, precautions and technique of pediatric and neuro-ophthalmic eye examination and a protocol for delivering a safe general anesthesia for a pediatriceye surgery.
