Novel device to contain aerosols during phacoemulsification.

ABSTRACT: We herein describe a novel device to contain droplets and aerosols during phacoemulsification. We modified the silicon phaco test chamber into an aerosol containment chamber (ACC) by shortening the chamber and making a pear-shaped opening at one aspect of its tip. The ACC was fitted over phaco tip such that 4-5 mm of phaco tip and sleeve was exposed. When the phaco tip and irrigation port are inside the anterior chamber during phacoemulsification, the portion of the modified chamber remains around the clear corneal tunnel in an enclosing manner that contains aerosols and droplets.

Air bubble guide for adequacy of ophthalmic viscosurgical device during phacoemulsification.

Project description:Phacoemulsification in hard cataracts is a challenge. The use of dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) to protect the endothelium is a routine step in such scenarios. However, as OVD is transparent, it is difficult to spot within the anterior chamber. Therefore, surgeons may not be aware when the OVD coating of the endothelium disappears during surgery. Consequently, there may be too frequent OVD injections, resulting in a waste of resources. On the contrary, the surgeon may fail to inject OVD at an appropriate time, leading to greater endothelial damage. We propose a novel technique of using an air bubble as a guide that helps in identifying the time when OVD disappears from the anterior chamber, thereby suggesting the surgeon to reinject before proceeding further.

Transient ocular surface non-perfusion during cataract phacoemulsification surgery.

Project description:BackgroundComplete non-perfusion of the anterior segment vasculature during cataract phacoemulsification surgery is rarely reported.Case presentationWe present two cases of transient ocular surface non-perfusion (TOSN) during cataract phacoemulsification surgery. The TOSN happened during intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with complete vanish of blood flow in the conjunctival, episcleral and limbal vessels. Reperfusion started within 30 s and part of the blood supply of the conjunctiva and episclera was restored within 2 min. However, the blood flow in the limbal vessels was not restored until 5 min later. The postoperative examination of both eyes was normal. These two rare cases are the TOSN during cataract surgery. We speculated that the significantly increased intraocular pressure during IOL implantation might be the cause of this rare phenomenon.ConclusionNon-perfusion of the ocular structures may occur if the IOP peak during IOL injection exceeds the perfusion pressure of the anterior vasculature.

Reliable angle assessment during periacetabular osteotomy with a novel device.

Project description:We developed and assessed a measuring device for intraoperative assessment of the acetabular index and center edge angle during acetabular reorientation in periacetabular osteotomy. We asked whether reliable assessment of angles could be made using the device; to be reliable we presumed the variability of angle measurements should not exceed that of inherent variability when assessing angles on radiographs (+/- 5 degrees ). The device was mounted bilaterally on the pelvis, and using fluoroscopy, angle measurements were obtained with adjustable measuring discs. We conducted a cadaver study to assess intraobserver and interobserver variability of the device and to assess if pelvic positioning influenced variation of measurements. Intraoperative measurements of 35 consecutive patients were compared with measurements on postoperative radiographs. Intraoperatively obtained angle measurements differed less than +/- 5 degrees from measurements on postoperative radiographs and the intraobserver and interobserver variability of the device were confined within +/- 5 degrees . Positioning did not influence the variation of angle measurements beyond intraobserver variability of the device when applying arcs of tilt and rotation of +/- 12.5 degrees . We believe the device is a potentially helpful tool in the periacetabular osteotomy. It is simple to use and facilitates repeated reliable angle measurements during acetabular reorientation, making intraoperative radiographs unnecessary.

Aerosols, airflow, and airspace contamination during laparoscopy.

Project description:Laparoscopic surgery has been undermined throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by concerns that it may generate an infectious risk to the operating team through aerosolization of peritoneal particles. There is anyway a need for increased awareness and understanding of the occupational hazard for surgical teams regarding unfiltered escape of pollutants generated by surgical smoke and other microbials. Here, the aerosol-generating nature of this access modality was confirmed through repeatable real-time methodology both qualitatively and quantitively to inform best practice and additional engineering solutions to optimize the operating room environment.

Impulse dispersion of aerosols during playing wind instruments.

Project description:Musical activities, especially singing and playing wind instruments, have been singled out as potentially high-risk activities for the transmission of SARS CoV-2, due to a higher rate of aerosol production and emission. Playing wind instruments can produce condensation, droplets of saliva, and aerosol particles, which hover and spread in the environmental air's convectional flows and which can be potentially infectious. The aim of this study is to investigate the primary impulse dispersion of aerosols that takes place during the playing of different wind instruments as compared to breathing and to speaking. Nine professional musicians (3 trumpeters, 3 flautists and 3 clarinetists) from the Bavarian Symphony Orchestra performed the main theme from the 4th movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th symphony in different pitches and loudness. The inhaled air volume was marked with small aerosol particles produced using a commercial e-cigarette. The expelled aerosol cloud was recorded by cameras from different perspectives. Afterwards, the dimensions and dynamics of the aerosol cloud were measured by segmenting the video footage at every time point. Overall, the flutes produced the largest dispersion at the end of the task, reaching maximum forward distances of 1.88 m. An expulsion of aerosol was observed in different directions: upwards and downwards at the mouthpiece, at the end of the instrument, and along the flute at the key plane. In comparison, the maximum impulse dispersions generated by the trumpets and clarinets were lower in frontal and lateral direction (1.2 m and 1.0 m towards the front, respectively). Also, the expulsion to the sides was lower.

"Capsule drape wrap"-a new technology for iridoschisis management during phacoemulsification.

Project description:AimTo introduce a new technique for iridoschisis management during phacoemulsification: "capsule drape wrap".Methods"Capsule drape wrap" technique was used for an 80-year-old man with idiopathic iridoschisis in the right eye during phacoemulsification. The inserted flexible nylon iris hooks to hold anterior capsule in place, the margin of the anterior capsule could act as drape wrap, tracking the fibrillary iris strands firmly from free floating and stabilizing the capsular bags simultaneously.ResultsThe eye with iridoschisis was successfully treated. Iris fibrils remained immobile during the procedure, and despite the severity of iridoschisis, there were no intraoperative complications such as tear of the iris, hyphema, iris prolapse, loss of mydriasis, or rupture of the posterior lens capsule during phacoemulsification. The best-corrected visual acuity was increased by 0.1 (logMAR) 6mo after the surgery.Conclusion"Capsule drape wrap" for iridoschisis is easily manageable, prevents further disruption to the loose iris fibers and ensures the stability of capsule-iris complex simultaneously, consequently minimizing the risk of surgical complications in phacoemulsification.

Needle aspiration for management of acute intraoperative fluid misdirection during phacoemulsification.

Project description:PurposeAcute intraoperative fluid misdirection is a serious complication that may occur during phacoemulsification. We provide a detailed description and a video of our preferred technique for prompt management of acute intraoperative fluid misdirection.ObservationsA 79-year-old male developed sudden shallowing of the anterior chamber and marked elevation of intraocular pressure at hydrodissection during phacoemulsification surgery. Treatment consisted of a needle aspiration of trapped fluid from the retrolental space, employing a 5/8th inch, 25-gauge needle on a medium-size syringe leading to immediate softening of the globe and deepening of the anterior chamber. The rest of the case proceeded uneventfully. The patient had uncomplicated recovery and final best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20.Conclusions and importanceAcute subcapsular infusion fluid entrapment may occur during uneventful phacoemulsification. Needle aspiration of retrolental fluid is a simple and inexpensive method for immediate resolution of high IOP and deepening of the anterior chamber, allowing the case to proceed.

Novel magnetomechanical MR compatible vibrational device for producing kinesthetic illusion during fMRI.

Project description:Functional MRI (fMRI) can provide insights into the functioning of the sensorimotor system, which is of particular interest in studying people with movement disorders or chronic pain conditions. This creates a demand for manipulanda that can fit and operate within the environment of a MRI scanner. Here, the authors present a magnetomechanical device that delivers a vibrotactile sensation to the skin with a force of approximately 9 N.MRI compatibility of the device was tested in a 3 T scanner using a phantom to simulate the head. Preliminary investigation into the effectiveness of the device at producing cortical and subcortical activity was also conducted with a group of seven healthy subjects. The vibration was applied to the right extensor carpi ulnaris tendon to induce a kinesthetic illusion of flexion and extension of the wrist.The MRI compatibility tests showed the device did not produce image artifacts and the generated electromagnetic field did not disrupt the static magnetic field of the scanner or its operation. The subject group results showed activity in the contralateral putamen, premotor cortex, and dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex. Ipsilaterally, there was increased activity in the superior and inferior parietal lobules. Areas that activated bilaterally included the thalamus, anterior cingulate, secondary somatosensory areas (S2), temporal lobes, and visual association areas.This device offers an effective tool with precise control over the vibratory stimulus, delivering higher forces than some other types of devices (e.g., piezoelectric actuators). It can be useful for investigating sensory systems and sensorimotor integration.
