【 摘 要 】

Background:There are few international and national studies on the incidence of ocular emergencies though there are frequent complaints. Objective:To determine the incidence and types of emergencies attended by the department of Ophthalmology at the General University Hospital of Cienfuegos. Methods:Case series study of all patients attended in the Emergency Department of Ophthalmology in Cienfuegos Hospital from March 2013 to March 2014. There were analyzed: name of the patient, sex, age, origin, diagnosis emergency, classification code colors, total of patients requiring surgical treatment and hospitalization. Results:Predominated aged 41-60 years (35.8%), males (58.6%) and the largest number of cases attended corresponded to patients in the provincial capital. There was a predominance of green code (70.9%); the conditions most represented were inflammations of annexes followed by injuries; 72 patients needed surgery, (0.38%) and 59 required hospitalizations, the rest of the patients were on ambulatory treatment with follow up in outpatient department ( 0.31%). Conclusions:The incidence of true ophthalmologic emergencies was low, for inflammatory conditions of Annexes classified as green code, were the most frequent cause of patient care; conditions that can be treated in primary services, indicating to mismanagement of physicians in the treatment of these ophthalmic conditions with consequent social and economic burden involving secondary services.
