TASS back in the News

Outpatient Surgery E-Weekly update of May 12,2009 is reporting that their Instapoll for last week’s question on TASS show that 17% of those responding have Seen TASS

Nine of the 52 readers who answered last week's online poll reported that they'd experienced an outbreak of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) at their facilities. TASS is a post-operative, acute inflammation of the anterior segment of the eye that has been linked to ophthalmic viscoelastic devices, intraocular lenses and irrigation solutions used during eye surgery. Other adverse events happened much less frequently: 1 poll taker reported a case of a retained object and 2 reported wrong-site surgeries. A majority of 69%, however, reported that their facilities had been free of these adverse events.
