Purpose
to compare between cold and warm saline on endothelial integrity
Setting
ophthalmology department ,
sohag faculty of medicine
sohag university
Methods
one thousand patient underwent catarct surgery divided into two groups
group a 500 patients with room temperature saline in phaco machine average 30C
group b 500 patients with cold saline 5C in phaco machine
the patients evaluated pre and postoperatively by specular microscope for endothelial cell evalaution
Results
group b is statistically better than group a in count and hexagonality
Conclusions
cold saline is better than warm one in phacoemulsification
