Healon5 in the management of intraoperative expulsive hemorrhage
2007
We present a patient with systemic hypertension, glaucoma, and previous vitrectomy who experienced a large expulsive choroidal hemorrhage during a procedure to reposition and iris fixate a subluxated intraocular lens. Liberal use of sodium hyaluronate 2.3% (Healon5) resulted in cessation of the hemorrhage, allowing completion of the case. Healon5 may cause cessation of bleeding through a tamponade effect and thus be useful in treating patients experiencing an intraoperative expulsive hemorrhage.
