Effect of Transition From Mechanical Ventilation to Spontaneous Breathing on Intraocular Pressure: A Prospective Observational Study in ICU Patients
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Non-invasive intraocular pressure measurement during ventilator weaning Description: Intraocular pressure will be measured using a portable non-invasive tonometer before and after the transition from for Mechanical Ventilation. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This prospective, single-center observational study aims to evaluate the acute effects of transitioning from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous breathing on intraocular pressure (IOP) in intensive care unit patients. Forty adult patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and undergoing weaning will be enrolled. IOP will be measured non-invasively before and after the transition, without any intervention beyond routine clinical care. The primary objective is to determine whether spontaneous breathing after mechanical ventilation causes significant changes in IOP. Findings may provide insights into ocular physiology during weaning and contribute to the safe management of critically ill patients, particularly those with ocular risk factors.

Intraocular pressure will be measured using a portable non-invasive tonometer before and after the transition from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous breathing. Measurements will be performed as part of routine clinical care and will not involve any experimental intervention.
