Abstract

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to create a cadaveric model which can be utilized in the training and practice of ocular ultrasonography. Ultrasonography has become a mainstay in diagnostic medicine due to its versatility and availability. One use of this modality is the rapid, non-invasive detection of acute intraocular pathologies such as retinal detachment. A retinal detachment is the pathologic separation of the retina from underlying structures. During this period of separation, the retina is devoid of oxygen and nutrition which may subject the eye to permanent visual loss. There are many ocular offenses which lead to detachment including diabetic retinopathy and trauma. In all cases, this disorder requires rapid diagnosis and treatment for best long-term vision.

Methods

To create the retinal detachment model, a lateral canthotomy and sclerotomy is performed to access the choroid and retinal layers in the posterior pole of the eye. A normal saline solution is then injected with a micropipette into the subretinal space, causing the retina to detach.

Results

We hypothesize that this model will be an effective tool in teaching ocular ultrasonography to healthcare professionals due to the simplicity of the procedure and availability of cadavers in academic settings such as medical schools.

Conclusion

Ocular ultrasonography has been recognized as a reliable tool in the diagnosis of retinal detachments with improvement in overall prognosis. Large groups of healthcare professionals trained in ocular ultrasonography will mitigate permanent visual loss in underserved populations through expedited time to diagnosis.

创建用于眼部超声造影培训的尸体模型
导言本文的目的是创建一个尸体模型,用于眼部超声造影的培训和实践。超声造影因其多功能性和可用性已成为医学诊断的主流。这种模式的一个用途是快速、无创地检测急性眼内病变,如视网膜脱离。视网膜脱离是视网膜与下层结构的病理性分离。在分离期间,视网膜缺乏氧气和营养,可能导致眼睛永久性失明。导致视网膜脱离的眼部疾病有很多,包括糖尿病视网膜病变和外伤。在所有情况下,这种疾病都需要快速诊断和治疗,以获得最佳的长期视力。方法为了创建视网膜脱离模型,需要进行侧隐窝切开术和巩膜切开术,以进入眼球后极部的脉络膜和视网膜层。结果我们推测,由于操作简单,而且医学院等学术机构有尸体可供使用,因此该模型将成为向医护人员传授眼部超声波技术的有效工具。大批接受过眼部超声波检查培训的医护人员将通过缩短诊断时间来减少服务不足人群的永久性视力损失。

期刊介绍: Journal of the National Medical Association, the official journal of the National Medical Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to address medical care disparities of persons of African descent. The Journal of the National Medical Association is focused on specialized clinical research activities related to the health problems of African Americans and other minority groups. Special emphasis is placed on the application of medical science to improve the healthcare of underserved populations both in the United States and abroad. The Journal has the following objectives: (1) to expand the base of original peer-reviewed literature and the quality of that research on the topic of minority health; (2) to provide greater dissemination of this research; (3) to offer appropriate and timely recognition of the significant contributions of physicians who serve these populations; and (4) to promote engagement by member and non-member physicians in the overall goals and objectives of the National Medical Association.
