An electronic patient alert device offers effective perioperative communication during cataract surgery, comparable to nurse hand-holding. This safe method reassures patients and allows direct surgeon interaction.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Patient Safety
  • Surgical Communication

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is frequently performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
  • Patient immobility is crucial during conscious intraocular procedures.
  • Effective communication between patient and surgeon is vital for managing unexpected movements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of an electronic patient-controlled alert device for perioperative communication.
  • To compare the electronic alert device with traditional nurse hand-holding.
  • To assess patient anxiety and satisfaction with different communication methods.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 150 patients undergoing cataract surgery under local anesthesia.

  • Three communication groups: nurse hand-holding, electronic alert device, and both methods.
  • Assessment of pre- and postoperative state anxiety, patient satisfaction, confidence, pain, understanding, and reassurance.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in anxiety levels, confidence, pain, understanding, satisfaction, memory, or reassurance were found between the groups.
    • 46% of patients reported experiencing issues during surgery.
    • Electronic alert device was as effective as nurse hand-holding for patient communication.

    Conclusions:

    • An electronic patient alert device is a safe and effective alternative to nurse hand-holding for perioperative communication in cataract surgery.
    • The device provides reassurance and enables direct patient-surgeon communication.
    • It ensures patient needs are communicated promptly during local anesthesia procedures.
