Conscious Sedation for Cataract Operations Under Topical Anaesthesia

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Topical anaesthesia of the eye for ophthalmologic procedures avoids pain and discomfort of local anaesthetic injection in the peribulbar or retrobulbar block so that patient comfortability is achieved. Sedation during topical anaesthesia of the eye is mostly required to achieve anxiolysis, amnesia and keeping the patient calm all through the procedure. In the present study, the investigators will investigate the effect of nalbuphine/dexmedetomidine versus nalbuphine/propofol on the sedation as a primary outcome, intra-operative, postoperative analgesia, vital signs, patient and surgeon satisfaction and side effects as secondary outcomes
