Description
Summary:Objective: To identify in peer literature publications on the risk of dry eye in patients admitted to adult intensive care units. Method: A study in the databases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MedLine), Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Web of Knowledge, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS in Portuguese), Cochrane, Bibliographical Index Spanish Health Sciences (IBECS in Portuguese) and Nursing Database (BDENF in Portuguese) was conducted. In these, 620 potentially eligible studies were found, and among those, 27 met the inclusion criteria and were selected. The studies were analyzed by two independent researchers who used an instrument adapted to identify the level of evidence of the articles. Results: 39 different risk factors for dry eye were identified; the following risk factors were found in 50% or more of the studies: lagophthalmos (85.18%), use of sedatives (70.37%), mechanical ventilation (66.66%) and use of neuromuscular blocking agents (55.55%). Conclusion: It was found only one study that specifically addressed the dry eye problem in critically ill patients, further clinical studies are necessary in order to provide strong scientific evidence on the subject.
