CHAPTER21 Radiation burns
Further treatment
Owing to vascular damage and reduced basal cell density (>20 Gy) radiation wounds are often non- healing and susceptible to infection and sepsis.
• Anti- emetics eective in radiotherapy such as ondansetron may be
useful in radiation nausea
• Radiation burns should be kept clean with washing and well hydrated to
prevent further desquamation. Exposure to chemical or physical irritants
or sunlight should be avoided
• Steroid (beclomethasone spray) or hydrophilic (alovera) creams
signicantly reduce moist desquamation, with equal eectiveness
• Moist desquamation should be treated as a burn wound, swabbed and
covered
• Radiation burn wounds may be dicult to close surgically with grafting
due to poor microvasculature and low capillary density. Conservative
treatment should be used initially, treating other sequelae of radiation
exposure. Other denitive management options including free aps may
be necessary
• Marrow failure will likely require bone marrow transplantation

CHAPTER22 Ocular burns
Clinical findings inocular burns
Burns to the orbit are an inevitable consequence of the exposure of the eyelid, conjunctiva, cornea, and internal orbit to external physical and chemical irritants. Accidental exposure to dangerous chemicals can take place at the workplace or at home, with commonly used products such as detergents and cleaning agents containing acids or alkalis. Children and adults are both at risk of accidental and non- accidental orbital burns.
Although it is important to ascertain the circumstances under which an orbital burn was sustained, a focused history and examination can be com­menced while simultaneously administering rst aid. The prognosis of an orbital burn is dictated by the time and concentration of chemical contact with the orbit and the initial early decontamination regime performed.

KEY STEPS INFIRST AID
Key steps infirst aid
• Provide immediate early orbital lavage with water, ampohteric or
neutralizing solutions
• Take protective measures such as gloves
• Open the eye with the help of an assistant or the patient if they are
motivated
• Initiate lavage using a ushing technique before commencing drop- by-
drop applications every second for at least 15 minutes
• Examine the deep fornices while rinsing the lids and conjunctiva
Encourage the patient to carry out eye movements to all extreme positions
• Remove any visualized foreign bodies using a soft cotton swab.
• Carry out orbital lavage for 15 minutes ensuring precise time keeping
• Apply antibiotic gentamycin and steroidal dexamethasone eye drops
following lavage
• Refer to Ophthalmology
Disadvantages ofdelayed rst aid
• Continued damage secondary to burn
• Signicantly poorer visual prognosis
• Increased incidence of corneal opacity, non- healing ulcers, and glaucoma

CHAPTER22 Ocular burns
First aid
Rinsing solutions
Features
• Important for decontamination of corrosives
• Apolyvalent solution is needed for eective decontamination as
contents of the spill may be unknown
• Many dierent solutions are available on the market
Amphoteres
Features
• Chemically reactive towards acids and alkali
• Act within the frame of known biochemical activity like amino acids.
• Special solutions are available on the market distributed by Prevor Int.
• Diphoterine® has a proven high decontamination capacity of alkali, acids,
alkylants, solvents, tear gas, capscain, oxidants, and reductors
Water
Features
• Freely available
• Polyvalent but not buering
• Dilution of spills due to hypo- osmolar nature of water creating a
concentration gradient
• Dilution is eective when used early in exposure to reduce
concentration levels within the tissue
Buers
Features
• Many buers available on market
• Borate buer more eective in akalis
• Phosphate buer more eective in acids
• Special highly concentrated phosphate buers are available as ‘pH
neutral’ to deal with acids and alkalis alike
• Complication of phosphate buer use in orbital burns includes
secondary corneal calcication and is therefore not recommended
Anti- hydrouoric acid therapies
Features
• Hydrouoric acid acts on calcium and magnesium levels causing severe
tissue necrosis and arrhythmias
• Decontaminating agents have to neutralize the free uoric ions
• Calcium gluconate is used to rinse skin that has come into contact with
hydrouoric acid
• Using calcium gluconate at a 2% concentration results in the white
corneal precipitates of insoluble CaF2 or MgF2 solids
• Anti- HF solution® is an eective amphoteric binder of the uoride ion,
keeping the cornea clear and decontaminated

After rst aid rinsing
• Note clinical ndings
• Eective rst aid therapy can prevent long- term damage to eyes, even
from highly corrosive agents
• Dua etal.1 classication grades prognosis for the cornea, but the Reim
classication (1997) grades the overall prognosis for the whole eye following injury

CHAPTER22 Ocular burns
Clinical presentations ofocular burns
• Corneal erosion due to initial damage of the epithelium and later due to
the lack of healing capacity of the epithelial layer dependent on limbal
stem cell survival and activity
• Corneal opacity indicating reversible and in later stages irreversible
damage of the corneal collagen glycoprotein matrix
• Ischaemia of the limbal vessel arcade, with healing deciency expected
in damage exceeding 60%
• Turbidity of lens and damage of iris are indicators of deep corrosive
action and inammatory response of the eye
• Conjunctival chemosis, indicating severe damage. Rinsing with
hyperosmolar amphoteric solutions has resulted in a reduction in this
symptom
• Conjunctival ischaemia is a more objective measure to evaluate the
depth of damage of the conjunctiva and sclera
Prognosis ofgrading
Table 22.1 shows the prognosis for healing.
Table22.1 Simple prognosis healing underthe Dua classication ofocular burns
Grade I Very good healing under therapy
Grade II- III Good healing under therapy
Grade IV Good to possible healing with surgical intervention
Grade V Possible to poor healing with surgical intervention
Grade VI Unlikely healing under therapy and surgical intervention

PRINCIPLES OFSURGICAL TREATMENT OFOCULAR BURNS
Principles ofmedical treatment ofocular burns
• Improve corneal epithelial healing by lubrication with hyaluronic acid
derivates
• Antibiotic protection, omitting macrolides (eg. gentamycin) and
uoroquinolones (ciprooxacin) due to interference with epithelial healing
• Use steroids to inhibit the devastating autoimmune response and
damage to stem cells
• Preservatives should be avoided as the high frequency of eye drops
used cause damage to the surface of the eye
• Stop phosphate application on the eye as corneal calcication can occur
Proposed best practice
• Unpreserved hyaluronic acid lubricants
• Ointments of antibiotic and steroids, eg. Dexa- Polyspectrane®,
Isopto Max
®
Principles ofsurgical treatment ofocular burns
• Debridement of necrotic tissue under general anaesthetic
• Earliest surgical intervention is between 2 and 3days after appropriate
conservative treatment
• Residual conjunctival defects following necrosectomy can be successfully
closed by tenonplasty, described by Teping etal.
• Persistent corneal erosion following treatment with high dose steroids,
lubricants, and antibiotic protection may warrant placement of an amniotic membrane graft combined with placement of a protective soft bandage lens
• Corneal grafts, autologous or homologous limbal stem cell grafts with
systemic and local immune suppression as well as keratoprosthetic surgery should be considered for advanced stage burns of the orbit
These surgical approaches have a high risk of failure; however, when car­ried out meticulously in the hands of a specialist, these procedures can restore sight.
