Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
-To determine the incidence of ocular surface disease in mechanically ventilated patients. -To explore the risk factors for OSD in mechanically ventilated patients. -To enumerate the nature of each ocular surface disease (time of onset, grading, and severity.) -To correlate OSD with risk factors, APACHE II, SOFA score, RASS score and ventilator setting, use of sedatives, use of inotropes, prone ventilation, and use of neuromuscular blockers.Timepoint: all the outcome will be assessed after 48 hrs of patients on mechanical ventilation till the patient gets weaned off the mechanical ventilation, where they will be assessed daily.
