Pupil diameter during cataract surgery after intracameral injection of the first ready-to-use combination of mydriatics and anaesthetic at the beginning of surgery in patients with a preoperative pupil diameter <6 mm.

Purpose: We evaluated, in a real-life setting, the effect of Mydrane® (ready-to-use combination of tropicamide, phenylephrine hydrochloride and lidocaine, injected into the anterior chamber at the beginning of cataract surgery to induce mydriasis and intraocular anaesthesia) on the pupil diameter during cataract surgery in patients with a preoperative pupil diameter <6 mm after the use of topical mydriatics.

Methods: We collected and analysed the data of 59 consecutive patients whose pupils dilated to a diameter <6 mm after the administration of mydriatic eye drops during the preoperative visit and who received Mydrane® during cataract surgery.

Results: In the group of 59 patients with a preoperative pupil diameter <6 mm after topical mydriatics, cataract surgery was performed in 36 patients (61.

Stable Mydriasis After Intracameral Injection of a Combination of Mydriatics and Anesthetic During Cataract Surgery: A Real-Life, Multicenter Study.

To evaluate the effect of Mydrane (contains tropicamide, phenylephrine hydrochloride, and lidocaine hydrochloride) on time needed to induce mydriasis and mydriasis stability during cataract surgery. This was an observational, non-interventional, multicenter study of patients undergoing cataract surgery who received Mydrane for mydriasis and intraocular anesthesia. The study was conducted at seven ophthalmology departments at university hospitals in Poland.

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine: US Anesthesiology Resident Training-The Year 2015.

Background And Objectives: The Anesthesiology Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education sets core requirements for residency program accreditation. We periodically report and analyze the US anesthesiology residents' training experience in regional anesthesia and pain medicine.

Methods: Resident caseload, procedure, and pain medicine evaluation data were aggregated for the resident cohort who graduated in 2015.

Seroprevalence of Bartonella Species in Patients with Ocular Inflammation.

Bartonella species, vector-borne etiologic agents of many systemic or self-limited infections, are responsible for a widening spectrum of diseases in humans, including inflammatory conditions of the eye. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is any relationship between uveitis and the evidence of Bartonella spp. infection in the serum, ocular fluid, and cataract mass in patients with intraocular inflammation.

Macular assessment using Optical Coherence Tomography in patients after uneventful phacoemulsification treated postoperatively with bromfenac, diclofenac or dexamethasone.

Aim: To assess macular thickness and volume using optical coherence tomography in patients treated with different anti-inflammatory agents after uneventful phacoemulsification. Material and methods: We analysed macular parameters using optical coherence tomography in 50 consecutive patients (mean age 70.5 years) who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery at the Ophthalmology Department, Medical University of Warsaw between March 2012 and January 2013.
