This document discusses various techniques for providing anesthesia during ocular surgery, including retrobulbar, peribulbar, and sub-Tenon's blocks. Retrobulbar blocks involve injecting local anesthetic directly into the muscle cone behind the eyeball to block the oculomotor nerves. Peribulbar blocks inject anesthetic in the space surrounding the eye muscles. Sub-Tenon's blocks make a small incision in Tenon's capsule to inject anesthetic beneath it. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages in terms of onset/duration of anesthesia, risk of complications, and ability to achieve akinesia.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

2. To assure safe surgical procedure by
achieving akinesia, anesthesia & apropriate
hypotony.
3. Subperiosteal space : between the orbital bones
and the periorbita
Peripheral orbital space (anterior space) : bounded
peripherally by periorbita and internally by 4 recti
Central space (muscular cone or retrobulbar space):
Anteriorly :Tenon’s capsule
peripherally: 4 recti
posterior : continuous with peripheral space
Sub-Tenon’s space: between sclera and tenon’s
capsule
6. Lidocaine 2%
> Onset of action : 5-10 mins
> Duration of action : 1-2hrs
Bupivacaine 0.75%
> Onset of action : 15-30mins
> Duration of action : 5-10hrs
7. > minimise systemic absorption of
anesthetic agents
> prolong the duration of action
> minimise bleeding
> systemic effects may b harmfull.
8. Enhances diffusion of anesthetic mixture
through tissues
Use 75 units per 10ml anesthetic solution
9. Lidocaine 2% with or without epinephrine
1:100,000 (5ml)
Bupivacaine 0.75% (5ml)
Hyaluronidase ( 75 units )
Therfore the final concentrations in the
anesthetic mixture are lidocaine 1%,
bupivacaine 0.37%, epinephrine 1:200,000
& hyaluronidase 7.5 units per ml
10. The first modern use of topical anesthesia
was by Koller in 1884 with cocaine.
11. Benoxinate 0.4%, an ester (commonest &
safest )
Other agents : tetracaine 0.5% , 1%
amethocaine proparacaine (proxymetacaine)
0.5%; short acting (20 minutes) and are the
least toxic to the corneal epithelium.
Lidocaine 4% and bupivacaine 0.5% and
0.75% have a longer duration of action but an
increased associated corneal toxicity
12. To block the nerves that supply the
superficial cornea and conjuctiva
> long & short ciliary nerve
> nasociliary nerve
> lacrimal nerve
13. The patient is asked to focus on the source
of the light
> Small sponge soaked with the drops can be
kept in the inferior and superior fornix or a
ring saturated with drops can placed in the
paralimbal region to maintain corneal
clarity
14. • No risk associated at needle insertion
• No risk of periocular hemorrhage
• Functional vision is maintained
• No postoperative diplopia or ptosis
• Patients are fully alert
15. • An awake and talkative patient can be
distracting for the surgeon
• No akinesia of the eye
• If difficulties or problems occur the
anesthesia may not be adequate
16. Aim
to block the oculomtor nerves before
they enter the four muscles in the posterior
intraconal space.
17. Local anesthetic is
delivered within the
muscle cone itself.
Into Central space
Using 22 G 35 mm
long needle
In the Inferotemporal
quadrant
At Junction of lateral
1/3rd and medial 2/3rd
of inferior orbital
margin
18. 4-5 ml of local anaesthetic agent
Bupivacaine 0.75% 5 ml
Lidocaine 2% 5 ml with adrenaline
Hyaluronidase 75 units/m
19. Palpate inferior orbital rim.
Place needle perpendicular through skin ,
locate needle 1/3rd distance from lateral to
medial canthus
Place just superior to inferior orbital rim
20. Inject 0.5ml of solution s/c to reduce pain
when orbital septum is pierced
Advance needle parallel to orbital floor
perforating the septum
After equater of globe is passed direct needle
superonasally at 30 degree angle , advance
,piercing intermuscular septum and enter
muscle cone,inject 4-5ml of anesthetic
21.
22.
23. • A retrobulbar block is reliable for producing
excellent anesthesia and akinesia
•The onset of the block is quicker than with
peribulbar; it usually occurs within 5 minutes
• Low volumes of anesthetic ,results in a lower
intraorbital tension and less chemosis than with
peribulbar blocks
• Loss of visual acuity occurs in a greater number
of patients compared to peribulbar blocks,
though this can be volume dependent
24. The main disadvantage of retrobulbar
blocks is that the complication rate is
higher than for peribulbar blocks – the
reason for the development of the
peribulbar block
25. There is a 1–3% chance that complications
will occur with retrobulbar block.
Retrobulbar hemorrhage
Ocular perforation (< 0.1% incidence, but 1
in 140 injections in myopic eyes)[
Subarachnoid or intradural injection,
leading to brainstem anesthesia in 1 in 350–
500 patients
26. Muscle complications: ptosis from levator
aponeurosis dehiscence, entropion and
diplopia following extraocular muscle
injection
Oculocardiac reflex, usually produced by
pressure on the globe (vasovagal
bradycardias are more common)
27. Most common ,due to inadvertant puncture of
vessels within retrobulbar space.
Simultaneous appearance of an excellent motor
block of the globe, closing of the upper lid,
proptosis and a palpable increase in intraocular
pressure.
It can lead to stimulation of the oculocardiac reflex.
the best course of action to postpone surgery for 2-
4 days after hemmorhage
28. Risk factors : High myopia (axial length
greater than 26 mm),
Sharp injection needle
Previous scleral buckling
Inexperience in performing local blocks
Poor patient compliance
SIGNS: Sudden loss of vision,hypotonia,poor
red reflex
29. The injection is outside the muscle cone
Spreads by way of diffusion to block the
orbital nerves, including the IV nerve.
25 G ,25 mm long needle
Place needle perpendicular through skin
Locate needle 1/3rd distance from lateral to
medial canthus
30. 1st injection
Place just superior to the inferior orbital rim
Advance parallel to orbital floor,peforating orbital
septum
Hub of needle should not go beyond inferior orbital
rim.
Aspirate to avoid blood vessel and inject 3ml of
anesthetic solution .
Apply pressure to prevent hemorrhage and
facilitate diffusion of anesthetic
31. 2nd injection
Locate needle by supraorbital notch, place
needle just Inferior to the superior orbital
rim, advance needle straight back ,inject
3ml of anesthetic.
32. The risk of complications associated with
peribulbar block is low
Peribulbar block has all the advantages of
retrobulbar block
33. Peribulbar blocks have all the
disadvantages of retrobulbar blocks, but
less frequently
The quality of akinesia and anesthesia may
not be as good as with retrobulbar block
Often more than one injection is required
34. The block takes much longer to work—it can
take up to 30 minutes
The Honan balloon may be uncomfortable for
the patient
Chemosis occurs in 80% of cases, which
makes operating conditions difficult
In 5.8% of both retrobulbar and peribulbar
blocks, ptosis can remain for up to 90 days
35. SubTenons block /pin point
anesthesia/medial episcleral block.
Post limbal, subTenon’s incision (1 mm)
Inferonasal quadrant - good fluid
distribution,avoids damage to vortex vein
Short ciliary nerves are blocked
36. The conjunctiva is anesthetized first with
drops of the local anesthetic of choice.
The commonest approach is by the
infranasal quadrant
The eye is cleaned and the patient asked to
look upwards and outwards.
Aseptically, the conjunctiva andTenon’s
capsule are picked up 3–5 mm away from
the limbus using nontoothed forceps.
A small incision is made through these
layers using scissors (Wescott scissors)
exposing the sclera.
37. A sub-Tenon’s cannula is inserted
The cannula is advanced posteriorly halfway
between the horizontal and vertical equators
of the globe.
3 to 5milliliters of local anesthetic are injected;
the greater the volume, the greater the
akinesis.
Lignocaine 2% is the gold standard(2.5ml);
bupivacaine 0.5% and articaine 2% .
Hyaluronidase can be added.
38. Less painful than peribulbar block
Better analgesia than topical anesthesia
Complications rarely serious
No increase in intraocular pressure occurs with
the administration of local anesthetic
Surgery can begin almost immediately Lasts for
60 minutes and supplemental anesthetic agent
can be given
The globe can be voluntarily moved at the
surgeon’s instruction
Low dose and low volume of anesthetic agent
are used
39. The local anesthetic agent must be injected into
the capsule – double perforation of the capsule
results in anesthetic leaking out, which
decreases the effectiveness of the block
Although it is an advantage that the globe can
be moved under instruction, it is important the
eye is not moved at other times – the use of
stabilizing sutures is advised
Post-op morbidity: Chemosis and
subconjunctival haemorrhage.
