Abstract
A panel convened to develop an evidence-based set of guidelines for the recognition and treatment of eye injuries and illnesses that may occur in the wilderness. These guidelines are meant to serve as a tool to help wilderness providers accurately identify and subsequently treat or evacuate for a variety of ophthalmologic complaints. Recommendations are graded based on the quality of their supporting evidence and the balance between risks and benefits according to criteria developed by the American College of Chest Physicians.
为识别和治疗可能在野外发生的眼部损伤和疾病,一个专家小组制定了一套以证据为基础的指南。这些指南旨在作为一种工具,帮助野外医疗服务提供者准确识别各种眼部不适,并随后进行治疗或撤离。根据美国胸科医师学会(American College of Chest Physicians)制定的标准,这些建议是根据其支持证据的质量以及风险和益处之间的平衡来分级的。
