CHAPTER21 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 eective 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
signicantly reduce moist desquamation, with equal eectiveness
• Moist desquamation should be treated as a burn wound, swabbed and
covered
• Radiation burn wounds may be dicult 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 denitive management options including free aps may
be necessary
• Marrow failure will likely require bone marrow transplantation

CHAPTER22 Ocular burns
Clinical findings inocular 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 INFIRST AID
Key steps infirst 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 ofdelayed rst aid
• Continued damage secondary to burn
• Signicantly poorer visual prognosis
• Increased incidence of corneal opacity, non- healing ulcers, and glaucoma

CHAPTER22 Ocular burns
First aid
Rinsing solutions
Features
• Important for decontamination of corrosives
• Apolyvalent solution is needed for eective decontamination as
contents of the spill may be unknown
• Many dierent 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 buering
• Dilution of spills due to hypo- osmolar nature of water creating a
concentration gradient
• Dilution is eective when used early in exposure to reduce
concentration levels within the tissue
Buers
Features
• Many buers available on market
• Borate buer more eective in akalis
• Phosphate buer more eective in acids
• Special highly concentrated phosphate buers are available as ‘pH
neutral’ to deal with acids and alkalis alike
• Complication of phosphate buer use in orbital burns includes
secondary corneal calcication and is therefore not recommended
Anti- hydrouoric acid therapies
Features
• Hydrouoric 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
hydrouoric 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 eective amphoteric binder of the uoride ion,
keeping the cornea clear and decontaminated

After rst aid rinsing
• Note clinical ndings
• Eective rst aid therapy can prevent long- term damage to eyes, even
from highly corrosive agents
• Dua etal.1 classication grades prognosis for the cornea, but the Reim
classication (1997) grades the overall prognosis for the whole eye
following injury

CHAPTER22 Ocular burns
Clinical presentations ofocular 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 deciency expected
in damage exceeding 60%
• Turbidity of lens and damage of iris are indicators of deep corrosive
action and inammatory 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 ofgrading
Table 22.1 shows the prognosis for healing.
Table22.1 Simple prognosis healing underthe Dua classication
ofocular 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

burns. British Journal of Ophthalmolog y 2001;85(11):1379– 83

PRINCIPLES OFSURGICAL TREATMENT OFOCULAR BURNS
Principles ofmedical treatment
ofocular burns
• Improve corneal epithelial healing by lubrication with hyaluronic acid
derivates
• Antibiotic protection, omitting macrolides (eg. gentamycin) and
uoroquinolones (ciprooxacin) 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 calcication can occur
Proposed best practice
• Unpreserved hyaluronic acid lubricants
• Ointments of antibiotic and steroids, eg. Dexa- Polyspectrane®,
Isopto Max
®
Principles ofsurgical treatment
ofocular burns
• Debridement of necrotic tissue under general anaesthetic
• Earliest surgical intervention is between 2 and 3days after appropriate
conservative treatment
• Residual conjunctival defects following necrosectomy can be successfully
closed by tenonplasty, described by Teping etal.
• 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.
