Enucleations performed by the ophthalmology service have lower complication rates when compared to enucleations performed by the emergency service
Key Points
This research aims to compare complication rates of enucleations between ophthalmology and emergency services.
Comparison of complication rates between ophthalmology and emergency services
Assessment of training needs for emergency service clinicians
Focus on specific training scenarios related to enucleations
Ophthalmology service enucleations had lower complication rates than emergency services.
Training for emergency service clinicians may help reduce complications and improve outcomes.
Abstract
Findings support the need to train ES clinicians to perform enucleations. Specific training focusing on circumstances surrounding ES cases can potentially mitigate complications and improve outcomes.
