PREPARATION OF PADS, APPLICATORS, ETC. Chemical agents act locally and are themselves decomposed by the chemical reaction with the tissues and nutrient fluids, causing a precipitation or coagulation of albumen in normal as well as morbid secretions, and a certain degree of neutralization of the therapeutic agents. Their action is therefore self-limited to a certain extent, and the changed tissues do not react indefinitely. The action of chemical agents is not lasting, for the fresh blood supply and renewed secretion restore, at least in part, the former conditions. This can be accelerated by removing the surplus of the chemical agent, mechanically, as by mopping or irrigation, or chemically, by instilling solutions which neutralize or antagonize the active principles of the former. Antiseptics are remedies which arrest septic decomposition. They do this by preventing the development of or completely destroying the bacilli on whose action the septic process depends. Agents of this class are used for a variety of purposes, such as the cleansing of instruments, the preparation of eye dressings, ' and as cleansing fluids for the field of operation. Those most frequently used in the treatment of eye disease itself for irrigation or instillation are the following: --Boracic acid, or boric acid, is a slightly antiseptic, somewhat astringent, unirritating white powder. A saturated solution contains one part in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst this book is primarily compiled for nurses who care for patients with eye disease, it will be useful to other health professionals who are also interested in the holistic ca re of such patients, e.g. opticians, orthop tists, social workers and junior medical staff. The care is presented as a systematic approach to the more common actual and potential problems. Typically, a problem is identified with a desired outcome and the nursing interventions possible to achieve this. Evaluation has not been included as this is dependent on an identified time limit for outcomes to be achieved which is individual to each patient. Part One covers the general aspects of ophthalmie care in the various situations where patients are nursed, e.g. casualty, theatre, wards. Part Two is based on a medical model, where each section of the eye is studied separately; the applied physiology of that part of the eye; the more common conditions affecting it; the possible medical management of the condition and the nursing care of the patient taking into account the medical prescription. The list of medical conditions is not exhaus tive, and only a general guideline of medical management is given as far as it influences nursing care. A list of widely available books for further reference to ocular pathology and medical management is given in the Appendix.
