Résumé

Objectif: Pour déterminer le ophtalmologiques indications et de défis pour examen oculaire pédiatrique sous anesthésie (UCE).
Méthodes: Le chirurgicales registre et patients ‘enregistrements des enfants qui ont subi des UCE entre 1990 et 2007 ont été examinés aux patients de document’ bio-données, les diagnostics et les détails de procédures et d’anesthésie.
Résultats: Trente-neuf enfants a subi UCE pendant la période de 18 ans. Les indications inclus un glaucome congénital (20, 21.3%) et la cataracte congénitale (5, 12.8%). Il y ont 2 cas chaque (5.1%) de microphthalmia, megalocornea et squint. Un cas d’autres indications constituait la 10.3% restants.
Conclusion: L’indication ophtalmologiques plus courante pour UCE chez les enfants est un glaucome congénital. La plupart des enfants (36, 92.3%) avaient anesthésie inhalational administré par anesthésistes à grands frais à leurs parents. Nous recommandons l’utilisation de l’anesthésie ketamine administré par anesthésiste non avec une formation en procédure anesthésie réanimation, pour la procédure pédiatrique court comme UCE dans paramètres ressource-contestée.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the ophthalmic indications and challenges for pediatric ocular examination under anesthesia (EUA).
Methods: The surgical register and patients′ records of children who underwent EUA between 1990 and 2007 were examined to document patients′ bio data, diagnoses and details of procedures and anesthesia.
Results: Thirty-nine children underwent EUA during the 18-year period. The indications included congenital glaucoma (20 cases, 21.3%) and congenital cataract (5 cases, 12.8%). There were two cases each (5.1%) of microphthalmia, megalocornea, and squint. A case each of other indications constituted the remaining 10.3%.
Conclusion: The commonest ophthalmic indication for EUA among children is congenital glaucoma. Most of the children (36, 92.3%) had inhalational anesthesia administered by anesthetists at great cost to their parents. We recommend the use of ketamine anesthesia administered by nonanesthetist with some training in anesthetic resuscitation procedure, for short pediatric procedure such as EUA in resource-challenged settings.
