Abstract
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a severe preventable complication among ophthalmic surgical patients. The knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of nurses play a key role in effective VTE prevention. However, little is known about the KAP of ophthalmic nurses' VTE prevention. This study aimed to examine the level of KAP toward VTE prevention among Chinese ophthalmic nurses and to investigate the influencing factors of their VTE practice. Methods A total of 610 ophthalmic nurses from 17 cities in Hunan and Zhejiang Provinces, China, participated in this study. Data was collected via the Sojump online platform from March to April 2021. A self-administered VTE questionnaire was developed to assess nurses' KAP toward VTE prevention. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of ophthalmic nurses' VTE prevention practice. Results The scores (correct rates) of ophthalmic nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice were 103.87 ± 20.50 (76.4%), 21.96 ± 2.72, and 48.96 ± 11.23 (81.6%), respectively. The three lowest-scored knowledge items were related to VTE complications, physical prevention, and risk assessment. The three lowest-scored attitude items were related to nurses' training, VTE risk, and patient education. The three lowest-scored practice items were related to the assessment scale, VTE assessment, and patient education. Nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice were significantly correlated with each other. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that Hunan Province (B = 2.77, p = 0.006), general hospital (B = 2.97, p = 0.009), outpatient department (B = 3.93, p = 0.021), inpatient department (B = 2.50, p = 0.001), previous VTE prevention training (B = 3.46, p < 0.001), VTE prevention management in hospital (B = 4.93, p < 0.001), better knowledge (B = 0.04, p = 0.038), and positive attitude towards VTE prevention (B = 1.35, p < 0.001) were all significantly and positively associated with higher practice scores in VTE prevention. Conclusions Our study provided a comprehensive understanding of the ophthalmic nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice in VTE prevention, as well as identified specific items in each dimension for improvement. In addition, our study showed multiple factors were associated with ophthalmic nurses' practice in VTE prevention, including environmental factors, training and management, knowledge and attitudes toward VTE prevention. Our findings provide important implications and guidance for future intervention programs to improve the ophthalmic nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice in VTE prevention.

Anatomical and Functional Outcomes after Endoresection and Adjuvant Ruthenium Brachytherapy for Uveal Melanoma: A Single-Center Experience. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:902. [PMID: 37109431 PMCID: PMC10146230 DOI: 10.3390/life13040902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of endoresection and adjuvant ruthenium (Ru)-106 brachytherapy for uveal melanoma (UM). METHODS Retrospective case series of 15 UM patients (15 eyes) treated at our center (Careggi University Hospital, Florence). RESULTS Six patients (40%) were male and nine were female (60%). The mean age of patients at the time of treatment was 61.6 years (±19.41). The mean BCVA at baseline was 20/50. In all cases UM originated from the choroid. The mean tumor thickness at baseline was 7.14 mm (±2.05), and the mean largest basal diameter was 11.2 mm (±1.92). A concurrent retinal detachment was diagnosed in 11 patients (73.3%). Two patients (13.3%) showed vitreous seeding at baseline. Eleven patients (73.3%) were treated with primary endoresection, while four patients (26.7%) were treated with a "salvage endoresection" after primary treatment failure (previous radiation treatment). The mean follow-up time was 28.9 months (±10.6). Thirteen out of fifteen patients were alive and showed no evidence of local recurrence or distance metastasis at the last follow-up visit. The treatment achieved local control of the disease in 14 out of 15 cases (93.3%). In one case, the patient underwent enucleation for disease recurrence. The overall survival rate at the end of the follow-up was 93.3%. The mean BCVA at last follow-up visit was 20/40. Treatment was well tolerated, without significant complications. CONCLUSIONS Endoresection and adjuvant Ru-106 brachytherapy is a valuable conservative option for selected UM patients and can be used both as a primary treatment and as a salvage therapy. It can control melanoma and avoid enucleation, reduce radiation-related complications, and provide tumor tissue for chromosomal analysis and prognostic testing.

Abstract
Surgical resection is widely used to treat small tumours located in the iris and the ciliary body, due to the accessibility of these sites. By contrast, surgical removal of choroidal tumours is substantially more challenging, which is why this procedure is performed only at specialised centres. In the present article, we review the literature on surgical resection of choroidal tumours, which can be performed as endoresection (ab interno) or transscleral resection (ab externo). An important aim of this review is to describe and compare the two approaches in terms of visual outcomes, survival rates, and complications. Both approaches are indicated for the removal of large tumours (thickness > 8 mm) with small base diameters. Surgical resection of the tumour allows clinicians to obtain valuable histopathologic and cytogenetic data from the specimen and eliminates the risks associated with radiotherapy. However, both of these surgical approaches are technically challenging procedures involving the risk of severe early and late postoperative complications.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to report 2 cases of pulmonary air embolism developing several hours after choroidal melanoma endoresection without the use of air infusion during the surgery, with fatality in 1 patient. Methods The method of this study was case report. Participants Two patients with large choroidal melanomas who collapsed several hours after endoresection without air infusion as a result of pulmonary air embolism. Results A 72-year-old man collapsed 4 h and 30 min after endoresection without air infusion. Computerized tomography angiography confirmed air embolism. The patient died after 86 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A 41-year-old woman collapsed 5 h and 30 min after endoresection, performed without air infusion and with close monitoring, which included right internal jugular vein catheterization intraoperatively. Transthoracic and transesophageal echography, performed preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively, revealed air embolism only after collapse occurred. Imaging showed the embolism to be biventricular because of patent foramen ovale. The patient was treated promptly with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mechanical ventilation, which resulted in a full recovery. Conclusions Air embolism can develop after endoresection for choroidal melanoma, despite avoiding air infusion. Further studies are needed to understand how this occurs. Special measures are indicated to detect this complication and to treat it promptly and effectively.

Endoresection utilizing pars plana vitrectomy for benign and malignant intraocular tumors. Curr Opin Ophthalmol 2019; 30:151-158.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Endoresection of intraocular tumors is a complicated procedure utilizing pars plana vitrectomy techniques. Though it has potential downsides and complications, there is potential for this technique in the treatment of malignant and benign intraocular tumors. RECENT FINDINGS Endoresection has been utilized in some form for the last three decades, but recent advances in vitreoretinal surgery have improved the technique. Endoresection is used most commonly to treat posterior uveal melanoma, but success in treating benign tumors, such as astrocytoma or retinal capillary hemangioblastoma has emboldened surgeons to expand its indications. It appears that removal of a malignant tumor, such as uveal melanoma may spare the eye some damaging effects of radiation retinopathy and radiation optic neuropathy. These benefits may occur even when the tumor is treated concurrently with plaque brachytherapy, proton beam irradiation, or stereotactic radiotherapy. The benefits of the technique are tempered, however, by the inherent difficulties associated with performing the surgery. These include potentially severe intraoperative bleeding, recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy, air embolism, and recurrence of the tumor at the edge of the resection. Nonetheless, endoresection has recently been used for retinoblastoma in refractory cases in order to spare the globe. SUMMARY Endoresection is an advanced vitreoretinal surgical technique that has potential advantages in the treatment of malignant and benign intraocular tumors.
