Abstract

Anterior chamber paracentesis (ACP) is a commonly used ophthalmic technique with broad clinical applications. It plays an important role in the diagnosis of intraocular infections, vitreoretinal lymphoma, and other diseases. However, the current ACP methods used in clinical practice have some issues and potential risks. There is no unified standard for the procedural steps, environment, and perioperative management. Therefore, this article provides a systematic review of various methods and devices for ACP and briefly summarizes the current clinical ACP environment, perioperative management, and safety considerations. The aim of this review is to provide insights into the current status and future prospects of ACP, with the goal of optimizing the safety and efficacy of this technique.

前房穿刺采集房水是一项广泛应用于临床的眼科常见技术,对眼内感染、玻璃体视网膜淋巴瘤等疾病的诊断具有重要价值。目前临床上常用的前房穿刺采集房水的方法存在着一些问题和隐患,其操作流程、环境及围术期处理等也尚无统一规范。本文将系统回顾前房穿刺采集房水的各种方法和装置,并简要对当前临床前房穿刺的操作环境、围手术期处理及安全性作一综述。.
