Airbag associated ocular alkaline chemical injury: A case report
Background
Airbags are a life-saving apparatus for patients involved in motor vehicle collisions (MVC). However, part of that apparatus includes the presence of alkaline chemicals that can induce ocular injury. Traumatic eye injuries are well documented in the literature in the setting of MVCs, yet ocular alkali burns are under-recognized and a dearth of case reports exists.
Case report
A 26-year-old male presented following an MVC complaining of severe unilateral eye pain in the setting of direct airbag related trauma. Ocular pH testing later revealed an alkaline injury of the right eye. Ocular irrigation was initiated in the emergency department until the pH reached normal levels.
Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?
Recognition of airbag-associated alkaline chemical burns of the eye in the setting of an MVC and appropriate management are imperative to avoid deleterious outcomes such as permanent vision loss.
