Assessing the efficacy of lidocaine gel 2% application 10 minutes before surgery on post operative pain and the use of analgesics postoperatively
Follow-up of pediatric patients is important for their regular ocular morbidity monitoring, especially for amblyopia management. An observatory data of 1st week (1st to 7th) of January 2019 revealed that the follow-up compliance was very low (22%) among children aged 0-16 years in the pediatric department of Bharatpur Eye Hospital. A problem tree analysis showed a lack of awareness in children and their parents regarding the importance of follow-up and patients forgetting regarding the follow-up visit, usually when there is the long duration of follow up are the major contributing factors for poor adherence to follow-up. So, an intervention study was aimed at finding the effectiveness of counseling and reminders through SMS and phone calls to improve the follow-ups. All pediatric patients 0-16 years of age with ocular conditions requiring at least 3 follow-ups in the study period (January 2021 to April 2021) will be included. Two hundred and sixty-four participants will be equally distributed to three groups: routine standard care, counseling, and reminders with SMS and phone calls. In the routine care group, children will undergo routine care as per existing practice in the hospital and there will be no additional intervention. In counseling group, in addition to routine care parents/guardians along with the child will receive counseling from a trained counselor as per the set counseling protocol in every follow-up visits and will also be provided with the disease-specific information leaflets as additional information material before the child is discharged from the department. In the SMS and phone call reminder group, in addition to routine care, parents/guardians of children will receive reminders through short messaging text (SMS) 3 days and phone calls one day prior to the scheduled visit. Compliance to follow up Participants completing all the three follow-up visits as per the schedule within the window period of +/-2 days will be considered as a complaint to follow up. However, the follow-ups of all the participants will be recorded although that is beyond the window period. The primary outcome will be measured by the proportion of children completing all three scheduled follow-ups. The ethical approval has been obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of NHRC (ERB protocol registration number 761/2020 P). Informed consent will be taken from parent and child. Conclusion: If interventions improve the follow-up rate and are cost-effective, this can be applied in all the departments of the hospital.
- This is a prospective randomized clinical study that will be carried on adult patients aged from 21-60 years and presented for strabismus surgery under peribulbar anesthesia. - Patients will be excluded if they refused to participate or had a contraindication to peribulbar anesthesia. - Patients will be randomly distributed into either control group in which peribulbar anesthesia will be performed by injection of 10 ml local anesthetic mixture composed of 4 ml of plain bupivacaine 0.5%, 4 ml of lidocaine 2% containing 50 IU, and 2 ml normal saline or rocuronium group which peribulbar anesthesia will be performed by injection of 10 ml local anesthetic mixture composed of 4 ml of plain bupivacaine 0.5%, 4 ml of lidocaine 2% containing 50 IU, and 0.06 mg/kg of rocuronium in 2 ml normal saline. - Measurements will include; - 1. Patient age, weight, height, gestational age, and gravidity. 2. The duration of globe akinesia (primary outcome). 3. The onset of lid and globe akinesia and the duration of lid akinesia 4. The onset and duration of sensory block 5. Time required to start the surgery 6. Akinesia score 7. The visual analog score (VAS) which is composed of 0-10 score will be used to assess the severity of postoperative pain (where 0=no pain and 10=severe pain), The VAS score will be evaluated 1 h, 2 h postoperative, then every 2 h till 12 h. Any patients with VAS score more than 4 received rescue analgesia in the form of 50 mg tramadol intravenous injection with the calculation of the time for the first call of postoperative analgesia. 8. Any detected complication as nausea and vomiting, pain on injection, or increased intraocular tension.
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Subconjunctival bupivacaine on postoperative pain in Strabismus surgery under general anaesthesia.
Strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) often runs in families. In this study, the investigators are looking for genetic variants associated with strabismus and nystagmus. Three types of subects will be enrolled: (1) Families with at least 3 members with strabismus, (2) individuals with infantile esotropia and their parents and siblings, and (3) individuals with infantile nystagmus and their parents. Whole exome and/or whole genome sequencing will be used to identify genetic variants shared by family members with strabismus and to identify genetic causes of nystagmus.
Adjustable suture surgery will be done in patients with horizontal strabismus comparing the time of adjustment
Strabismus is a common ophthalmic problem in Egypt that usually requires surgical correction. This surgery primarily aims to improve alignment of visual axis but may be required only for cosmetic reasons. General anesthesia is mandatory for most cases however a concomitant local anesthetics administration is preferable to improve patient satisfaction, decrease postoperative analgesic requirements and reduce post-operative pain. Oculocardiac reflex is a noted serious complication that accompanies such surgeries and may be life threatening. Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is one of the main challenges that face anesthesiologists during strabismus surgery. The incidence of OCR varies from 16 to 82 % in strabismus surgeries and this wide range does depend on the anesthetic agents, premedications, and the definition of OCR being used. Maintenance of adequate depth of anesthesia and the use of anti-cholinergic is the mainstay to reduce this risk. OCR is usually defined as a decrease in heart rate of more than 20 % from the baseline. This reflex is triggered by the pressure on the extra ocular muscles (EOM) or eyeball, orbital hematoma or trauma, the afferent limb is from orbital contents to ciliary ganglion then to the sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve near the fourth ventricle through the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. The main response of this reflex is transmitted through the vagus to the heart. This vagal stimulation leads to a decrease in heart rate (sinus bradycardia), contractility and arrhythmias such as atrioventricular block, ventricular fibrillation up to cardiac arrest. The incidence of the OCR decreases with age and tends to be more pronounced in young healthy patients. It has been suggested that the anesthetic agents used during surgery influence the incidence of OCR. To date, the only successful method to interrupt an OCR is to stop the EOM traction, and then proceed with caution as surgery continues. Depth of anesthesia is another presumed factor having an impact on reducing of OCR incidence. The response to surgical stimulus can be minimized or stopped with the help of peribulbar block.
