RESUMO

Antecedentes y objetivo El cambio climático es una de las amenazas más significativas para la salud humana actualmente. La industria sanitaria es responsable de una parte importante de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Este estudio pretende calcular la dimensión de las emisiones de GEI atribuibles de manera directa e indirecta a la cirugía de la catarata en España, para poder así identificar las áreas con mayor capacidad de mejora. Material y método Este estudio observacional de una serie de casos calcula y analiza la huella de carbono correspondiente a una cirugía de catarata mediante facoemulsificación en el Complejo Asistencial de Ávila siguiendo la norma de estandarización ISO 14064. Resultados La huella de carbono de una cirugía de catarata en el Complejo Asistencial de Ávila ha sido de 86,62kg de CO2eq. El 85% de las emisiones de GEI corresponden a las derivadas de los suministros de equipamiento y farmacéuticos Conclusiones La colaboración entre industria farmacéutica y oftalmólogos es esencial para intentar reducir el impacto ambiental de la cirugía de catarata. Se necesitan más estudios para implementar medidas que no comprometan la seguridad de los pacientes. Los nuevos modelos de cirugía verde podrían tener un papel muy alentador en el nuevo panorama de la salud global (AU)


Background and purpose Climate change is one of the most important threats to human health nowadays. The healthcare industry produces a significant part of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The aim of this study is to assess direct and indirect GHG emissions due to cataract surgery in Spain to identify opportunities for improving. Material and methods This observational case series study estimates and analyses the carbon footprint of a single cataract surgery using phacoemulsification in Ávila Hospital. ISO standard 14064 was applied. Results The carbon footprint of a single cataract surgery in Ávila Hospital was 86.62kg CO2eq. Medical and pharmaceutical equipment were responsible for 85% of GHG emissions. Conclusions Collaboration between pharmaceuticals and ophthalmologists is important to improve the environmental impact of cataract surgery. Future research is needed to introduce changes that do not compromise patient and surgeon safety. Green surgery models could play an encouraging role in the new global health scene (AU)

RESUMO

Desde el descubrimiento de los rayos X por Roetgen en 1895, su utilización para el diagnóstico y, sobre todo, para el tratamiento de diferentes patologías ha ido en aumento. A pesar de que en los últimos años la tasa de efectos adversos ha disminuido, no debemos olvidar que pueden presentarse en los tejidos circundantes al área tratada. En este artículo hemos querido realizar una revisión de los efectos oculares más frecuentes y presentar el caso de una paciente con alteraciones corneales por la radiación (AU)


Since X-ray discoverment made by Roetgen in 1895, indications for the diagnosis and especially for the treatment of multiple pathologies have increased enormously. Despite during the last years the rate of side effects has decreased, we should not forget they may appear at the tissues around the treated area. In this article we have tried to make a review of ocular side effects, and to present the case of a patient with corneal affectation because of radiation (AU)

RESUMO

Caso Clínico. Varón de 72 años que acude a consulta refiriendo visión borrosa en ojo derecho (OD) de más de dos años de evolución y que presentaba un desprendimiento neurosensorial (DNS) macular en la tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT). Habiendo sido diagnosticado previamente de coroidopatía serosa central (CSC) crónica en otro centro y habiendo sido tratado con ranibizumab intravítreo y fotocoagulación láser. Decidimos combinar el tratamiento con ranibizumab intravítreo y terapia fotodinámica para evitar nuevas reactivaciones. Discusión. Tras dos sesiones de terapia fotodinámica junto con tres dosis de Ranibizumab el cuadro se controló estabilizándose la agudeza visual del paciente. Ambas estrategias combinadas dieron buen resultado, disminuyendo el número de brotes en los últimos meses; no obstante debemos continuar con el seguimiento para observar posibles efectos adversos a medio o largo plazo (AU)


Case Report. 72 years-old male who came to our service because of blurred vision in his right eye (OD), and who presented a neurosensorial detachment (NSD) in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Having already been diagnosed in other center of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy and having already been treated with intravitreous Ranibizumab and photocoagulation laser. We decided to combine intravitreous Ranibizumab treatment and photodynamic therapy in order to avoid new reactivations. Discussion. After two photodynamic therapy sessions and three intravitreous Ranibizumab inyections the patient´s visual acuity got stable. We got good results combining both therapeutical strategies, and the number of outbreaks has decreased during the last months; however we should carry on checking our patient to detect any possible half or long term side effects (AU)
