Abstract
Purpose: To study the efficacy of a novel device intended to control infusion pressure based on mean ocular perfusion pressure (MOPP) during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Methods: An arm blood pressure cuff connected to a vitrectomy machine calculated mean arterial pressure (MAP), while a pressure sensor close to the infusion trocar measured intraocular pressure (IOP). MOPP was calculated in real time in 36 consecutive patients undergoing PPV, who were divided into two groups. The device lowered IOP every time that calculated MOPP fell below 30 mmHg in the Control ON group (18 patients), while no action was taken in the Control OFF group (18 patients). Results: Baseline IOP and blood pressure were similar between groups. The Control ON group had significantly lower average intraoperative IOP (30.5 ± 2.1 vs. 35.9 ± 6.9 mmHg; p = 0.002) and higher MOPP (56.4 ± 5.9 vs. 49.7 ± 6.1 mmHg) than the Control OFF group. The Control ON group also spent less time at MOPP <â 10â mmhg and <â 30â mmhg: 0 vs. 3.40â â±â 2.38â min (pâ <â 0.001) 9.91â â±â 7.15 16.13â â±â 8.12â min (pâ =" 0.02)," respectively. conclusions: the mopp control device effectively maintained lower iop higher throughout surgery. it also helped avoid dangerous peaks dips, allowing patients to spend less time at of <â 10 <â 30â mmhg. < div>File | Size | Format | |
