Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology

Context:

  • Cataract surgery is commonly performed using regional anesthesia.
  • The role of anesthesiologist involvement in these procedures requires evaluation.

Purpose:

  • To assess the necessity of anesthesiologist intervention during cataract surgery performed under regional peribulbar anesthesia.

Summary:

  • A study of 406 patients found anesthesiologist intervention was required in 28.5% of cases.
  • Common reasons for intervention included hypertension (16.74%), perturbation (4.92%), and cardiac arrhythmia (4.92%).
  • One case of myocardial infarction necessitated anesthesiologist involvement.

Impact:

  • Anesthesiologist presence is justified in cataract surgery under local anesthesia.
