We report the spontaneous resolution of a massive detachment of Descemet's membrane 10 months after uneventful phacoemulsification. Diagnosis of the detachment was delayed because of severe corneal edema; thus, surgery was not performed. We propose that this complication of severe corneal edema after cataract surgery be considered and, given its excellent outcome, we recommend surgical treatment.
In January 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization authorities for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since then, we have looked for ways to avoid transmission with mitigation measures and social distancing. However, areas with a high incidence of COVID-19 have struggled to maintain adequate supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) essential for health workers. Many innovations have been proposed to assist providers including barriers to use during airway management. We present adaptations to previously described intubation or “aerosol” boxes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
