Papilledema Possibly life-threatening Optic nerve swelling Cause: increased intracranial pressure Develops in hours; dissipates over months Look for Bilateral swollen, hyperemic discs Blurred disc margins Elevated discs Cupping? Spontaneous venous pulsation (SVP)? Disc hemorrhages Concentric folds

Slide 59-

Avoiding Eye Liability Act like a healthcare professional Show you care “Captain of the ship” Document, document, document “If it’s not in the chart, it wasn’t done” Lead, follow or get out of the way Comfort level with case “Sunshine is the best disinfectant” Be honest
Slide 60-

Avoiding Eye Liability Standards of care Visual acuity on everyone Don’t prescribe, dispense topical steroids Don’t prescribe topical anesthetics Refer papilledema STAT Warn of signs, symptoms of retinal detachment Don’t ignore red eye & ocular danger signs Informed refusal Patient, witness signatures
Slide 61-

More Pearls African descent Glaucoma Sarcoidosis Sickle cell disease BP Red, painful eye w/o mucous usually not conjunctivitis R/o corneal abrasions, ocular fb, keratitis, iritis, glaucoma “Zebras” The not-so-simple red eye Don’t go sailing by yourself
