Abstract
A method of preventing eye-related positional injuries during spinal surgery includes providing an orbital area pressure monitoring system including a site sensor with transducer, and a monitor connected to the site sensor; using the orbital area pressure monitoring system to continuously monitor pressure on an orbital area of the patient with the site sensor and monitor; and causing an alarm to be actuated to alert medical personnel of a pressure condition when monitored pressure is greater than a predetermined threshold.
