Effectiveness of oxygenation and suction in cataract surgery: is suction of CO2-enriched air under the drape during cataract surgery necessary?
During cataract surgery with local anaesthesia, SpO(2) decreases and RR, HR and MAP increase because of reinspiration of expired air under the drape. Insufflation of O(2) and aspiration of expired air with a suction system have prevented severe reduction of SpO(2) and raising of EtCO(2). It was suggested that O(2) delivery and use of an aspiration system decreased the risk of hypoxaemia significantly in the patients undergoing the cataract surgery.
UFPs induce platelet accumulation in the hepatic microvasculature of healthy mice that is associated with prothrombotic changes on the endothelial surface of hepatic microvessels. Accumulation of particles in the liver exerts a strong procoagulatory impact but does not trigger an inflammatory reaction and does not induce microvascular/hepatocellular tissue injury.
