[Analgetic ketamine feasible in ambulance emergency care].

Objective: To investigate if ketamine could be a feasible analgetic in ambulance trauma care.

Design: Prospective.

Setting: University Hospital of Rotterdam 'Dijkzigt'.

Glaucoma following retinal detachment operations.

After retinal detachment operations 1-5% of the patients develop glaucoma. If this occurs directly after the operation it is the result of mechanical narrowing of the chamber angle. This can be the result of indentation due to an exoplant or encircling band causing forward displacement of the lens/iris diaphragm.
