Abstract
[Objective:] To share the nursing experience of RetCam3 ultra-widefield oral fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) in infants with fundus diseases. [Methods:] Seventy-eight infants with fundus diseases admitted to General Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University from August 2018 to December 2019 were recruited. Oral FFA was carried out using the 130-degree lens of RetCam3, and the key points of nursing were summarized. [Results:] No complications related to the examination and drugs occurred after oral FFA with an appropriate nursing manner. FFA confirmed 26 cases of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, 23 cases of retinopathy of prematurity and 6 cases of pigment incontinence. Vitreous hematoma was observed in 3 patients, retinoblastoma in 3 patients, Morning Glory syndrome in 1 patient, retinitis pigmentosa in 3 patients, Ascaris lumbricoides eye disease in 1 case, original permanent vitreous body in 2 patients, unexplained fundus lesions in 5 patients, monocular retinal fold in 1 patient, congenital micro-eyeball in 1 patient, cytomegalovirus infection in 1 patient, congenital macular dysplasia 1 patient and Coats disease in 1 patient. [Conclusion:] Oral FFA with RetCam3 is an effective and safe detection method for infants. Standard and proper nursing can ensure the examination can be performed accurately and smoothly.
