THEORIES
• Requires an intact wound lip
• Requires IOP
• Corneal pump seals wound
• Stromal hydration forces wound closed
• Only lasts 10-15 minutes!!
• False sense of security
![Page 16: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHEN IN DOUBT………ALWAYS PLACE A
SUTURE!!
![Page 17: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
IDEAL SELF-SEALING WOUND ARCHITECTURE
• Placed at the limbus
• Have multiple planes (3 ideal)
• Have as long a tunnel as possible
• Length equaling the width of the incision
• Self-sealing at normal IOP
• Minimal hydration required
![Page 18: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER
• 5/7 (71%) immune compromise
• 4/7 (57%) intraoperative complication
• Inferior CCI (86%)Miller, et al. (BPEI). AJO, 2005

JURY IS STILL OUT!
![Page 20: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Common Sources of Bacteria in Endophthalmitis
• Conjunctiva• Eye lids• Lacrimal sac• Airborne
contaminants• Contaminated
irrigating fluids
![Page 21: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mode of Post-surgical Endophthalmic Inoculation
• Bacterial particles travel from corneal surface into all incisions
• IOP variation causes incisions to gape after clear corneal incisions
• Surface fluid influx into anterior chamber causing inoculation after surgery
![Page 22: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Organisms Isolated in the Endophthalmitis
Vitrectomy Study
• Coagulase negative Gram positive cocci 70%• Staph Aureus 10%• Streptococci 9%• Gram negative rods 6%

Optimizing Strategies for Endophthalmitis Prophylaxis in Anterior Segment Surgery
• Antisepsis
• Surgical Prep
• Antibiotics
![Page 25: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Antisepsis
• Probably the single most effective way of reducing postoperative infection
• Povidone-iodine one of the best products when toxicity and effectiveness are considered– Can be toxic to corneal endothelium
• Preoperative lid hygiene, preoperative lid scrubs, intra-operative lid draping
![Page 26: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Endophthalmitis-Surgical Prep
• 5% povidone-iodine solution– Reduce colony forming units-conjunctiva
– Synergistic effect when used with antibiotics
– Implicated in reducing post op endophthalmitis

Antibiotics
• Treat with an antibiotic that addresses potential pathogens
• The antibiotic must be at the site prior to the inoculation with organisms
• Use the least toxic and most effective antibiotic
• Use at an appropriate time and dose
![Page 28: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Options for Prophylactic Antibiotics
• Preoperative – Oral– Topical
• Intraoperative– Intracameral via the
irrigating solution– Subconjunctival
• Perioperative – Topical
• Postoperative– Topical
![Page 29: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Collagen Shields
• Good intraocular antibiotic levels
• Resists wound leak
• Patching helpful to prevent loss

Ophthalmic Fluoroquinolones have become the antibiotic
standard for American Ophthalmologists

IMPORTANT QUESTION!
WHEN DOES THE EYE BECOME INFECTED?
Intra-operative or Post-operative??
![Page 32: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
PROPHYLAXIS AIMED IN TWO DIRECTIONS
• Reduce the opportunity for organisms to enter the eye during and after surgery
• Reduce the bacterial load that is present on the ocular surface and periocular tissues
![Page 33: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DECREASE MICROBES INTO THE EYE
• Careful, sterile draping of the lids, margins, and lash follicles
• Avoid touching the eye surface during surgery (IOL lens injector)
• Low complication rate• Shorter operating time• Appropriate wound management-Good
seal
![Page 34: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
PROPHYLAXIS……….
WHAT DOES THE OPHTHALMIC LITERATURE
SAY???
IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ONE PREVENTION
APPROACH OVER ANOTHER?
![Page 35: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
“Preoperative povidone-iodine received the highest evidence rating.
All other reported prophylactic interventions, including preoperative
topical antibiotics received the lowest clinical recommendation
based on weak and often conflicting evidence justifying their use.”

THERE IS GOOD RATIONALE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POVIDONE IODINE (SHORT
TERM EFFECT) AND A FLUOROQUINOLONE
ANTIBIOTIC (LONG TERM EFFECT)

![Page 45: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
THE FLUOROQUINOLONE ANTIBIOTICS
Key Properties:• Bactericidal• Inhibit DNA synthesis (DNA gyrase)• Broad spectrum of activity in vitro• Low toxicity• Excellent penetration
![Page 46: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
FIRST-GENERATION FLUOROQUINOLONES
• Ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin
• Widely used, well-tolerated
• Excellent Gram-negative activity
• Variable Gram-positive antimicrobial activity
• Increasing resistance, especially among streptococci
![Page 47: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
NEXT GENERATIONFLUOROQUINOLONES
• Levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxicin, others
• Enhanced pharmacokinetics
• Improved Gram-positive antimicrobial activity
• Responsible and appropriate prescribing and dosing essential (regardless of agent)
![Page 48: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Development of resistance among older generation
fluoroquinolones is why we must evaluate newer
antibiotics
![Page 50: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
HOW TO USE FLUOROQUINOLONE
(and avoid resistant strain emergence)• Minimum dosage four times a day• Maximum time course – 2 weeks• Never taper dose
![Page 51: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The higher the attainable drug concentration relative to the minimum inhibitory concentration, the less likely that resistance will develop!
![Page 52: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Broad Spectrum Coverage:How Much Is Enough?
![Page 53: CONTROVERSIES IN PRE- OPERATIVE PROPHYLAXIS FOR THE PREVENTION OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d975503460f94a819f2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Avoid Topical Antibiotic Resistance
• Use high concentrations
• Use bactericidal drug
